Re: getting dizzy

Are you diabetic?

If so your sugar levels my be either up or down, depending on how bad it is (if you are diabetic at all)

I sometimes get dizzy when I stand up.

This is due to 2 problems;
sometimes sitting down for to long and suddenly 'arising' and getting up to quickly after sitting.

Dehydration is a likely possibility. You could also be getting a virus.

there are too many variables - and some explanations may be serous - so see a physician soon if the symptoms persist!

Re: getting dizzy

I had some similar symptoms to you earlier this summer. They (the doctors) started by ruling out iron issues, viruses and calorie defecit. Then they started to look at the training. After all those things are ruled out that's when they start to really get serious. I hope you start to feel better soon and get back to your racing at 100%. My mom says her beet stew is the cure for everything, with a big glass of Kefir.

Re: getting dizzy

Fludrocortisone may help your symptoms, but wouldn't tell you why you are having symptoms that sound like postural hypotension. That is when there is a significant fall in blood pressure between lying/sitting and standing

I did not tell anyone to take anything. I merely mentioned a possible scenario. Can you read?
