What Causes Lighheadedness When I Wake Up In The Mornings?
Question: I am feeling light headed after I awake in the morning, then settles down and then soon come back. Like almost to the point of being dizzy.
Brief Answer:
Please, control your blood pressure!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms. The most common cause of such symptoms are episodic drop in blood pressure and are most common when you go from the sitting to an upright position rapidly. I will like you to control your blood pressure during such times. For now, I recommend that you drink enough water and change positions slowly from lying to upright so as to avoid this. Each time you feel dizzy, please hold a nearby object or sit on the floor so as to avoid falls that may produce severe consequences. Let me hear from you on how well these measures control your symptoms.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
