Following causes to feeling dizzy when standing...
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
I am sorry for the situation you are in. Based on what you are saying, my thoughts go for possible:
- problems with your blood vessels: should run Doppler ultrasound of neck and peripheral blood vessels
- Menier's syndrome: should run an audiogram and check the inner ear (TILT test)
- Autoimmune diseases: Raynald's syndrome, etc.
I also advise to run: ECG, cardiac echo, Holter monitoring, monitor your blood pressure to rule out heart problems.
Depending on the tests results, specific treatment will be prescribed.
Meanwhile, I advise to:
- stand up slowly (not too quick)
- keep hydrated (drink more water)
- raise your feet where-ever possible
- do not stay in standing position for long period
Hope it was of help! If anything unclear, do not hesitate to write me back!
