Tonight every time I stand up I either faint or feel very lightheaded

[DevastatedD0G]

I've always been a dainty kind of person. After a hot bath or if I stand up too fast, also if I forget to eat or overheat. But it's never gone on this long. Has anyone else ever had this?

Ha not dainty I wish! fainty

Sounds like your BP is very low. Lie down. See the Gp tomorrow! HAve you any other symptoms?

I had this recently, was so bad i went to the doctors who told me it was stress and i needed to relax (if you come round, look after the DC, tidy up, do the shopping, do the washing, do the ironing, oh and do my full time pressured job, i just might, helpful Dr!!)

It did go off but i decided to take so Metatone tonic and a free early nights. Maybe you need the same?

Could possibly be labrynthitis which you can get treated for. If it is still there after a night sleep i suggest the Dr.

I am lying down. My sinuses feel a bit odd but no other symptoms. I will go to gp but it'll be Monday now. I've been once before and he shrugged it off and said I just faint a lot.

Might be worth trying a decongestant? Hope you feel better soon.

Low bp, sounds like.

You've either got low blood pressure or anaemia.

I have low bp bit it only causes dizziness if I get up too fast. However, it was much worse when I had anaemia. could you?
DH had a crazy middle ear condition last year which caused sickness and dizziness so bad he couldn't keep his balance. get to gp asap.

Google POTS.

low blood sugar for me, I find it easy to not bother to eat.

I was going to suggest POTs too. My friend has it and it sounds very familiar.

Low BP + anaemia here too

I've got this and I wonder if it's a virus as DH is also shattered and baby DD has had a mystery rash and been napping for England this week.

Labryinthitis is a bugger to deal with ! Iv had it a few times but I do think ur symptoms seem to have more to do with with low bp ! Just as it may help if the room appears to spin and u get nausea that mite be labrynithitis
