What Causes Dizziness When I Stand Up?
I feel fuzzy every day this week. Feel faintish when standing/walking for more than 10 min. Even now just sitting my vision is slightly blurry. Only other symptoms I have is diarrhea. Pretty much every time I shit I get bad cramps and then very soft/watery poo. I can t even shop right now cause I always have to race back out to my truck to sit. I ve got blood work done but results aren t in yet. But the doc seemed to think it was nothing and to drink more fluid. Which I always do. They checked my blood pressure the first time and it was normal. Second time (next day when I got second opinion from other clinic) it was lower than normal. They ve also mentioned low blood sugar. But why wouldn t eating a chocolate bar help? Anyway, I m worried they won t see anything in the blood work. What the heck do I have?

As you say you have diarrhoea and detected to have low blood pressure. The dizziness which you feel in standing and walking may be near syncope episode. Loss of fluid from body in form of diarrhea can cause these syncope like episodes. you need to consult a gastroenterologist for your diarrhea.
