Suggest Treatment For Extreme Dizziness

I was at the gym on Tuesday taking a cardio type class. When I tryed to change from lying on my back doing situps, to sitting or standing up, I got extremely dizzy, and it felt like my equilibrium was off. I had to lay there for a couple of minutes before I could get up. I thought this was an isolated incident, but it happened again today. I still feel a little off

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi. Thanks for posting on hcm.
I would suggest your bp be checked in lying sitting and standing position.
From your symptoms I am suspecting it to be postural hypotension.
While sitting from lying down posituon turn on your left and sit slowly. And do stand slowly ftom sitting position. Avoid sudde2 standing.
Hope this helped you.
Regards
I find this answer helpful
