Dizzy when standing up - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Hope this is in the right place.

Lately when i stand up i get all dizzy and feel like i'm going to faint.
It's starting to get really annoying

Why does this happen and how do i stop it from happening?

Isn't it something to do with blood sugars?

Thanks

Go to the doctors?

I get that alot, specially with the hot weather. Ive always had low blood pressure too.

It's called postural hypotension: basically, when you stand up - especially if you do it fast - you bod's regulating mechanisms can't keep up and the blood pressure falls temporarily in your brain.

Your calves are the muscles that keep the venous blood in your legs returning to your torso while you stand, so they need to be exercised.

Hypotension can occur if you become sedentary or unfit. Diet can be a factor - are you anaemic? Is your blood sugar low? Have you been tested for diabetes?

I suspect that some gear and cycles can be a factor too. What are you on?

i get it mate, just get up slower

clairey.h · 14-07-2009, 01:52 PM

I do get it when I havnt eaten enough.....obviously

, but sometimes its easy to forget how much energy you are using in the gym and not keep up the correct food or water intake.......
if you can rule out factors such as food and water, then a trip to the docs for a test isnt a hardship really for piece of mind
