Do you suddenly feel dizzy when you stand up? There may be a warning of ‘orthostatic hypotension’

• Do not ignore the changes that occur in the body after standing up suddenly.
• If dizziness occurs frequently, it is important to find the reason behind it.
• Serious risks can be avoided if proper care is taken in time.

Many Health Problems are those that gradually appear in the body but we ignore them as normal. For example, sometimes when suddenly standing up from sleep or sitting, there is darkness in front of the eyes, dizziness or balance. Symptoms of this problem include dizziness, lightheadedness, blurred vision and fainting. Most people ignore it because of fatigue, weakness or lack of sleep, but in medical terms this condition is known as orthostatic hypotension. This is a medical condition. This problem starts when the blood pressure in the body decreases. Let’s know about it in detail.

Why does this happen?

When we suddenly stand up, blood rushes to the legs due to gravity. In a healthy body, the nervous system immediately increases the heart rate and constricts blood vessels. But if this process slows down, the body is dehydrated, or the blood pressure drops suddenly, the brain does not get enough oxygen for a few moments and it causes dizziness.

What are the possible causes?

• Lack of water in the body
• lack of blood (anemia)
• Vitamin B12 deficiency
• Low blood sugar
• Blood pressure pills
• Heart valve disease
• Nervous like Parkinson’s at times

What will you do to protect yourself?

Rise slowly: Sit down first, then stand up slowly.
Drink enough water: Water intake keeps the body hydrated throughout the day.
Maintain salt balance: Change your diet as per your doctor’s advice.

Diseases of the system

Isn’t this a sign of heart or nerves? If this problem occurs frequently, it can be serious. This means that the body’s system that controls blood pressure is not working properly. Persistent dizziness can also be a sign of an irregular heartbeat or nerve damage. This increases the risk of sudden falls.
