What Causes Sudden Dizziness While Getting Up From Seated Position?
Hey, I have a question ? Sometimes when I m laying down, I get up and I get super dizzy. To a point where I can t walk because I go do I ll fall. I usually just stand still or sit down until it goes away. One time I got dizzy and I just continued to walk and then my mom said that I slammed hard against the wall, but I don t remember. What does this mean ?
