Low Blood Pressure, Feels Dizzy While Walking Or Standing. Is There Any Problem?
I am a healthy 57 year old, 167 lb, 5 8 . I have always had low blood pressure and would become dizzy if I got up too fast. Today I was standing and then began to walk and I suddenly felt dizzy and like my eyes were crossing but they did not cross. It went away in a few minutes and I had no trouble walking or seeing--just had the feeling.

1. gradually change position - dont stand from lying down position. sit then sdtand
2. eat more of salt and salty foods
3. keep well hydrated
unfortunately there is no permanent remedy.
