What To Do For Having Intermittent Dizziness When Sitting And Standing?
I am dizzy sometimes. It's normally when I am sitting, but recently it's been when I am standing. I am a healthy female, normal weight, no allergies or health problems. I am very athletic as well. I try to drink enough water, and I did get my iron checked(for anemia) a couple months ago. The test came back normal. I have fainted once before in my life. I have a choir concert tomorrow and I'm nervous that I might get dizzy and faint. What should I do?

Some kind of dysrhythmias also gives such symptoms,an ecg can rule out that.Hope this may help you
