    This happens to me when I stand up too quickly and I'm not anemic or anything like that. Try standing up more slowly, works for me.

    It's called orthostatic hypotension, happens to a lot of people. Try sitting up slowly, wait a minute and then stand. If it still happens get checked out, could be caused by medication that needs to be decreased.

    I'm anemic and if I don't take iron supplements regularly, I get dizzy. U should consult a doctor.

    Also if your not getting enough exercise and lay in bed all day that will do it. That's why even hospital patients are encouraged to get up a move around a little

    Your dehydrated or anemic, talk to your doctor ask about taking iron supplements and start drinking more fluids, which does not include soda or liquors
