Suggest Treatment For Headache And Dizziness
Hello. I m a 19 year old male and I have a concern about my health. I sometime get light headache and/or dizziness when I stand up or sit up. Also there was one time that when I stood up, I get dizzy and after walking a few steps, my body gave up. It s like all of a sudden I fell down slowly. Like my whole body was numb. Could you please tell me what s wrong? Thank you!

Hi.
I understand your concern.
Dizziness while standing up or change in posture is called postural hypotension .
Change in blood pressure may lead to dizziness.
Hypertension or hypotension may also lead to headche.
Besides this need to go for neurological examination for proper cause.
Routine blood test / eye sight fundus examination / CT scan / MRI will be useful for diagnosis.
So consult neurologist and get help.
I hope I have answered your question .
Thank you .
