Dizzy

[andgrand]

ok.. so i have been doing some research... but i get really dizzy when i get up from sitting... i think its called postural (excuse my spelling) hypertension... does anyone know of a way to cure this. (also known as vertigo... i think lol)

Vertigo is different as it's to do with ear infections that affects the sense of balance via vestibular system. Generally it lasts longer even after standing up, longer than postural hypotension would. Postural hypotension can fit what you're describing and the only ways I can think of for treatment are not get up that fast or use certain meds. However, it can be other things other than this.

Vertigo can be one of two things.
1: A severe fear of heights, and when exposed to a height, you will become dizzy.
2: An inbalance in the fluids in your ears which distorts your sense of balance. This one is an illness that is usually caught after a cold. It can last for months, causing the person not being able to move on their feet, without throwing up. So may have to crawl to get to places, although this can also make you so dizzy that you throw up.

Ive been suffering the second one on and off since i was 8. The worst illness by far. Common illness though, not like cancer and STD's.

A cure for your problem would be, not to stand up suddenly or lean over when you are rising. Take a gentle and more upright approach when standing up.

Hope i helped =D
