A member asked:
Venous insufficency ultrasound today with a quick inflate cuff. the 2 times they used cuff on my leg i got really lightheaded for a minute. cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lightheaded: Cuff pressure can technically reduce blood flow back to the heart temporarily which could theoretically reduce cardiac filling and therefore cardiac output, which could temporarily reduce blood flow to the brain, making you feel lightheaded. Possible, but unlikely. Other causes of lightheadedness include infection, anemia, response to pain, blood sugar problems or other. See a doctor.
