A member asked:

Hi, whenever i get up from bed or chair after resting for a while i feel a sudden weird feeling like boom. i don't know what it is but it happens most when i am not physically active. i have this problem like years?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See: Possibly orthostatic, or postural hypotension, lightheaded feeling when suddenly arising from a sitting or lying position. One may benefit from increased hydration, and increased physical activity. Arising more slowly may help.
