Hi, I have been getting dizzy when standing suddenly. This happens when standing up suddenly from a laying or prolonged sitting position. I am familiar with orthostatic hypostension. Hopefully that s spelled correctly. The intensity of the dizziness has started to increase, as well as the frequency. Earlier today I was laying down using my laptop, and got up. The dizziness was very intense, the initial onset I experienced a 6 second period where my vision was black and white only. I did what I normally do when I experience these symptoms
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Good to know you are familiar with orthostatic or postural hypotension.2. Making slow movements during changing of position is the most important aspect.3. Venous stockings to the lower limbs can avoid pooling of blood in lower limbs and sudden variations in blood pressure.4. Also take plenty of water. Corticosteroids may be necessary, when orthostatic hypotension is severe. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
