Probably dehydrated... Do you get dizzy and lose a lil vision like you see a whole bunch of white flares?

probally postural hypotension...... drink more water.

If you're on BP meds, it may be that your BP is getting too low, your doc may need to adjust your dose.

No bp meds .. have never had an issue with that.. just realized I haven't eaten today..could that be it?

I have this happen often. My bp stays around 90/50 which is hypotensive. It has been that way all my life but only since surgery to I get the dizzy spells from standing too quickly. I think its a combo of low bp and not drinking enough fluids.

Just saw my dr today and asked about signs of dehydration. #1 she said is feeling dizzy or lightheaded when you stand up. Drink more fluid!!

Haha...probably is..

11 months out and it still happens. That reminds me I should probably go drink something.

5 months out and this still happens to me, and yes, it reminds me to drink Low BP related, which is somehow fluid intake related as well.

Yup- its dehydration.

Its most noticible in the AM it also causes me slight nausea in the morning.

Dr. says drink a whole 12oz of liquid before bed and first thing in the AM and it should fix the issue.

Thanks guys.. ironically I was at the doctor when this happened. My bp was 98/100 rather low.. ill try that 12 and 12 water thing
