Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

More information is needed.

However, it can be due to:-

# a fall in Blood Pressure on standing, which can be due to either a heart disease, low blood volume (due to dehydration), deposition of cholesterol in the neck arteries (leading to their gross narrowing) causing reduced blood supply to the brain.

# Weakness of the heart; or, abnormality of heart rhythm (particularly, a transient low pulse rate).

Consult your doctor/Cardiologist and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me, order required tests, and- based on the reports- will prescribe suitable/modified treatment as advised.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care
