A member asked:

I have pots and even when i lay down with perfect blood pressure and heart rate i am lightheaded, what could is be? cerebral vasoconstriction?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lightheadedness: Lightheadedness in the supine position could be explainable by low blood pressure or by a very slow heart rate which decrease cerebral blood flow. . Dizziness in the form of vertigo could occur upon lying down or with other head movements. Does the lightheadedness improve upon sitting up or standing? If so, does the blood pressure or heart rate improve(better cerebral circulation)?
