Do taller people get dizziness more easily because their heads are farther from their hearts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Giraffe syndrome?: The answer is no unless your heart isn't pumping properly, blood pressure is too low or you have a blockage in carotid and / or vertebral arteries. But these things also happen to short people--so you don't have to be a giraffe to get dizzy!
