A member asked:
Do you get lightheaded with diverticulitis?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Indirectly yes: If you have severe infection or significant bleeding, you can get lightheadedness. But not directly. If your diverticulitis is under control, you should ask your doctor to look for other causes of your symptoms.

Maybe: if there is a severe infection leading to sepsis, or if there is significant bleeding.
