This is a symptom: that needs prompt/semi-urgent evaluation. Most often the sensation of lightheadedness you describe is associated with position/change of position: rising from lying down to sitting or from sitting to standing (due to gravity). It may mean you have blood loss/decreased blood volume OR it could be related to a heart rhythm problem (or many other things). Seek evaluation today, best with your own Doc
