Does Dizziness While Getting Up Suggest Low BP?

Hi, occasionally when I m talking to someone and the conversation will get even the smallest bit conflicting or agitated, I get a pretty strong sinking feeling in my stomach/heart. It doesn t effect my abilitie to talk or anything but I can defiantly feel it. I think I also have low blood pressure as when I get up quickly I get really dizzy for around 10-20 seconds, are these linked?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Having this type of feeling might be due to your nervous type of nature or having some emotional factor taking part.
Having dizziness feeling from getting up quickly while lying or sitting position, there will be sudden drop of blood pressure giving this dizziness feeling.
nothing to worry this might be due to having postural hypotension or orthostatic hypotension.
Go for your blood pressure measured in lying down, sitting and standing position and see the fall of blood pressure.
So wait for a minute while lying down position to sitting or standing position.
Nothing to worry, this can be normal problem.
Ok and take care.
