A member asked:

What does it mean when i blackout after standing up?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Low Blood Pressure: It sounds like you may have low blood pressure called hypotension. See you doctor and ask them to check your BP while lying down and then when standing. It your numbers drop, you may have orthostatic hypotension which is treatable.
