Dehydration?: If one has been sick throughout the week, dehydration or intravascular fluid depletion is quite common. When trying to stand up, the blood pressure drops too quickly, resulting in lightheadedness/faintness. Would consider starting with aggressive oral rehydration. If not able to take oral fluids and symptoms worsening, then IV fluid can be quite helpful.
