33. Why do I sometimes feel dizzy when I
stand up?
Dizziness might be caused by postural hypotension -- a drop in
blood pressure when you stand up. This condition might result from
a drop in blood volume, dehydration, or certain medications. It
might also be linked to diabetes, Parkinson's disease, or an
infection. (Answer continues on next page.)
