Do you ever feel light headed or dizzy when you stand up?

I sometimes feel light headed when I stand up quick. I was told that my blood pressure was slightly low a couple of years ago. Just wondered, is everone the same or is it just me who gets dizzy because of blood pressure?

1. i get dizzy when i stand up or yeah light headed but i think it is because i am like developing an eating disorder. xoxo coley oxox
2. Yeah i get that occasionally; whether its just when i wake up and get out of bed quickly to turn off the alarm or even sometimes if i just get out of a chair. It feels like my eye sight is imparied and i just feel my head swirl. Freaks me out sometimes, but thanks for the information that it might be of low blood pressure!
3. This happens to me if i'm sitting down for a while and get right up i just fell lost for a second (like im about to pass out.)
4. yes, sometimes. and i know other people it happens to, so i'm pretty sure it's normal. but if you don't eat very much it's a lot more frequent. if you feel it's happeing too often, you should go to a doctor.
5. I get it everytime im below half my height for about 5+ seconds , then stand up again!. I had a bottom locker at school , so I always got it lol.
6. I think it's slight anaemia, low Iron. That's what I have and I get dizzy all the time when I stand up fast. Iron tablets sort it sort.
7. This is known as postural hypotension. It can cause dizziness- this is the result of impaired cerebral perfusion. Just try and ensure that you stand up slowly each time. Some medications can do this, if you are symptomatic then see your Doctor.
