I Do I Feel Dizzy And Lightheaded When I Stand Up?

I m always dizzy and lightheaded when I stand up. Also when I get out of the shower these things have gotten 10x worst. When I m on my period I always faint (lucky it hasn t happened in a while) and I have mood swings and over think things ALL THE TIME! I m a teenager so I don t know if it s normal.

it may not be normal. Symptoms described by u are suggesting of postural ( orthostatic ) hypotension. get ur BP in supine and standing position. u may need other autonomic function testing also.
take plenty of oral fluids, avoid abrupt standing.
