Thank you for choosing HCM

Based on the description that you have given, it seems that you have vasovagal syncope. This happens when you stand up too quickly and it causes pooling of blood to the legs. This pooling of blood reduces the blood supply to the brain and causes the dizziness that you have been having.

Here is what you can do:
Drink lots of water to avoid getting dehydrated
Get up slowly to prevent getting dizzy

The headache that you have been having seems to be due to a migraine. You can try the following to help with it:
Take a Paracetamol 500 when you feel you are about to get a headache
Eat meals at regular times
Inhale steam mixed with Eucalyptus oil to clear the nasal passages
Drink lots of water
Sleep well and get at least 8 hours of sleep a day

Follow up after 5 days. All the best.
Hope this helps you
