Question:
Dizziness and light headness the past few weeks...

I feel it when I stand up from a sitting position real fast, or get out of bed real fast. The room starts spinning and I have to sit down. Other times I can just be standing doing something and I feel as if I am going to pass out. I am taking all my vitamins, what could the problem be?    — Shavonne P. (posted on September 19, 2003)

You might need to get your blood pressure checked. It sounds like I felt once when I was on the verge of dehydration and my blood pressure was extremely low.

Well, I had the same problem and thought it was just low blood pressure. Come to find out, I was A LITTLE deficient in Iron. As soon as I started supplementing my iron, it completely went away. This was about 2 months ago. I was also a little deficient in B12 and upped that as well. I have yet to have another episode. Hope this helps darlin.

It could be those things, but I have what is called positional vertigo. It does the same thing. I had it long before my surgery. I'm sure there is anything they can do for it. Another possibility is an inner ear problem. It can cause those symptoms too. Check with your dr.
