How come i get light headed when i stand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Upright lightheaded: There can be many reasons - the most common, being dehydrated. Adequate water, and some salt intake (limit the latter) can help. If that is not the problem, then have your orthostatic blood pressure and heart rate assessed. There can be many other causes, some that are cardiovascular, some that involve your equilibrium/balance systems.
