Why do I feel dizzy when I stand up too fast?

Asked by Alice Hartwell — Sep 30, 2025 — Health Resolved

Sometimes when I stand up quickly I get dizzy and my vision goes spotty for a few seconds. It passes quickly. Is this normal or a sign of something wrong? Someone said it's low blood pressure. Should I be concerned? Is there anything I can do to prevent it? When should I see a doctor about it?

I'm not a doctor and you should definitely talk to your physician about this. That said, the general medical consensus seems to be that moderation is key. Most health concerns come from extremes in either direction.

I had this same concern and went to see a specialist. It turned out to be much less serious than I thought. But getting professional medical advice gave me peace of mind. If you have insurance, use it — that's what it's for.

My advice: don't self-diagnose using the internet. You'll convince yourself you have some rare terrible disease when it's probably nothing. I did this once and worked myself into a panic over what turned out to be a pulled muscle.

Be careful trusting health advice you find on the internet, including mine. There's a LOT of junk out there — supplement companies and diet gurus trying to sell you something. WebMD is decent for general info but it can't replace an actual doctor.

Talk to a pharmacist — they're an underrated resource and they're free to talk to. They know a ton about medications and interactions and can tell you whether something is worth a doctor visit or whether an over-the-counter remedy will do.
