    This sensation, often called orthostatic hypotension or postural dizziness, happens when your blood pressure temporarily drops upon standing. Your body usually adjusts quickly, but sometimes it doesn't, leading to lightheadedness. Doctors often measure your blood pressure while you're lying down and then immediately after standing to see if there's a significant drop. They might also ask about hydration, recent illnesses, or other symptoms. Tracking when it happens, how long it lasts, and if you feel like fainting can be helpful. Seek urgent care if you actually faint, have chest pain, or vision changes. What did you find most helpful in managing this feeling?
