What Is The Cause Of Lightheadedness?

Hi its Ganesh. Sometimes if I stand out of sudden I feel pulse inside my head. I can feel 3 4 pulse and its gone. I feel lightheaded too. My father has hypotension so is it possible that it is hypotension which has been genetically transferred on me?

Hello Ganesh
This could be a problem with positional hypotension but it could also be a sign of anemia or a cardiac condition.

If I were your doctor I would do an exam, blood work and a cardiac workup on you so you need to see your own doctor for this
