What Causes Sharp Pain In My Head While Moving?

In the past three days I've noticed that when I move quickly, especially from sitting to standing or lying to sitting -- I do a lot of yoga -- I get sharp, dizzying pain in my head. Sometimes in the center, sometimes in the back or to one side, and occasionally in the temple. I've been out of town so haven't checked my blood pressure. I"m on Exforge and Crestor, 5'4" and 140 lbs. No ringing of ears, like when BP high. Generally low number has given me a problem, but lately overall BP around 120/80. Am I about to have a stroke or aneurism?

i think the most common reason is low blood pressure.It may be normal when you take measurement but symptoms which you are complaining are classic. it is also called as postural hypotension. Are you doing yogas like shirsasan,in which you stand on your head. I would recommend you to take salty lemonade, glucose like fruit juice and banana. I can assure that these are not the sign of stroke.
take care
