Millions of men experience prostate problems every year. But what defines prostate enlargement and how does the prostate grow as it enlarges?...

Q: Dizziness when bending over and standing up

For the last couple weeks I have been getting very dizzy when I would:

1) Roll over in bed when waking up. 2) Sit up and sit on the edge of the bed when waking up. 3) Stand up from my bed when waking up.

Also, I've gotten dizzy quite a few times when bending over and standing up.

This has never happened before. It's a kind of dizziness where everything starts moving/spinning around me and I feel like I'm about to fall, where I can't really tell where up is up and down is down for a little while there until I stand still until the dizziness goes away. I'm also taking coumadin. Would that have anything to do with it or is it something else?

This is referred to as vertigo. Vertigo can be caused from several things. Some people will get dizzy if their blood pressure is low. Vertigo can be the result of fluid behind the eardrum. Go to your doctor. You don't want this to result in you falling. I can think of no reason that coumadin would cause vertigo.

It is probably just due to changes in your blood pressure in your brain from the sudden rapid change of position. I get them sometimes too.
