I've been feeling a little lightheaded for about a week now.I have highblood pressure & diabetes. I'm on medicine for them both. The lightheadedness started when I was standing up at work.,also a slight blurring of my vision.The blurring of my vision only lasted for a brief moment. What could this possibly mean?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having lightheadedness and blurring of vision lasting for few seconds.
Since you are also having blood pressure and diabetes these symptoms indicate transient ischaemic attack.
Transient ischaemic attack can occur secondary to decreased blood supply to brain as a result of high blood pressure.
The treatment is by treatment of high blood pressure.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for evaluation and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
