: POTS or postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, which tends to be more common in young women appears to be likely. Going from sitting to standing precipitates a drop in blood pressure provoking a reflex of rapid heart rates and lightheadedness. A cardiologist is best to evaluate &amp; advise you.
