Brief Answer:
Further tests are needed....
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Getting dizzy each time you get up might be related to:
- problems with heart rhythm and blood pressure
- Menier's syndrome (inner ear problem).
I advise to run further tests to evaluate the condition of your cardio-vascular system:
- ECG
- cardiac echo
- stress test
and diabetes testing to exclude diabetes or hypoglycemia and measuring blood cholesterol levels.
You should not getting worried; instead, you should consult an ENT and neurologist as soon as possible for further evaluation.
Wish fast recovery!
