Dr. David Martin answered

Specializes in ENT - Head & Neck Surgery

Dizziness: Dizziness after standing up can be due to low blood pressure, dehydration or sometimes it can even be expected if you just got up too fast. High blood pressure medicines can also cause this issue. If it is bothersome, i would talk to your doctor.
