I Dont Know Whats Going On Posted: 11-01-04 18:22pm
I don't know whats been happening, if I
get up too quick I have what it feels like
a blood rush to my head and I feel like I
can't control it and I end up like falling
and then realizing i'm on the floor or up
against my bed. Then when I get up, I had
a headache. It doesnt go on for to long,
but it still hurts. Some times when I
think it might happen, I lay back down but
it stills worries me, why it happens
everytime I get up fast. Is it just
getting up to fast, or is there something
wrong? Because it doesnt feel like it
happens to everyone.
Concerned

That sounds like a blood pressure issue..
I forget the name of the condition but
it's when your body can't regulate your
blood pressure fast enough and so when you
stand up your blood pressure doesn't
adjust and you get the dizziness. I get
it as well. I have never gone to the
doctor about it.. I just try to be aware
of how fast I get up and what I am doing.
If it continues to be real bothersome or
starts to affect you in other ways you may
want to go to the doctor to make sure
there isn't something else going on. A
change in bp can cause headaches.. So it
sounds like you aren't in any danger.
Just be aware of how you get up and you
should be able to keep it under control.

I agree with the above totally - two other
things though as you don't say your age or
sex>> it could also be hormonal
(& men have hormones too!!) so
consider that - also keep a note of
whether there's any particular food or
drink that you have say 6-12 hours before.

Postural hypotension is something that can
cause you to feel faint or dizzy when you
get up too fast or standing still for too
long. Some people have more issues with
this than others. Different meds can have
an effect on this also.
I have problems with this if I stand too
long. If I am on decongestants or sick I
am more prone to this...
So sorry this is going on. Have you
talked it over with your doctor?
