What Causes Dizzy Spells When I Get Up From Sitting Position?
Every time I have been sat down for 5 minutes or longer and I satmd up and walk a couple of steps suddenly I feel dizzy and everything goes black and my legs go all funny. I usually have to put a hand on anything Near me to stop me from falling down. This happens more then twice a day. Do I need to see a doctor?
