Dizziness when bending over and standing up Posted: 02-27-08 21:17pm
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.
