What Causes Persistent Dizziness And Lightheadedness?
I woke up this morning dizzy and a light headed. I took my BP and it was 118/72 with 69 beats per minute. I drank some water and had some breakfast. It has been 6 hours now and I still have difficulty when I stand up and move around. I am being careful.
