Brief Answer: Postural drop Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for the query The most likely reason for the brief giddiness is because of postural drop in blood pressure which often seen in elderly individuals. It requires no treatment, I advice my patients to sit on the edge of the bed for a minute and slowly recline onto the bed and the same to be done while getting up as well. The most common cause for this is a age related sclerotic aortic valve, please approach a cardiologist for an ECHO to look for it. You could also request him to check for postural drop in blood pressure I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me I wish you good health Regards
