What Causes Light Headedness And Blurred Vision Upon Standing Still?
I do cadets, towards the end of the public parades when I m standing still, I get light headed and my vision blurs it happens really quickly and I have to kneel down, once I kneel I start feeling better but once i stand back up it comes back but a bit slower. while i m standing I m moving my toes and tensing my mussels but I still get light headed. Once it goes away my ears are sore and my eyes water and i have a headache.

Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have light headedness and blurred vision upon standing still . Well there can be many reasons for headache and dizziness like low blood glucose or iron level , benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) , infection , meniere's disease , migraine , neurological , inner ear infection and due to certain medicines such as blood pressure medicines or anti depressants . Sinusitis can also be one of the reasons for lightheadedness and blurred vision. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order certain test like CT scan , hearing test , rotatory chair test and take history to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe antiemetic drug , antibiotics like gentamycin along with physical therapy and vestibular therapy . Doctor may also refer you to neurologist for migraine or gastroenterologist for gastric problem .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
