the dizziness doesn't happen when i first rise but a few minutes afterwards.
i had my bp taken a month ago and it was 120 over 80 which is good. I take bp medicines. it hasn't happened in the last couple of days. i am under so much stress and have been so depressed. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
cecilia didn't answer me. i did have an exchange with her. she doesn't have an account at ebay so i sometimes buy things for her.she liked the articles and told me she liked my hair twice and that was it
love

The feeling dizzy and losing balance when you get up sounds like orthostatic hypotension -- a transient, rapid drop in blood pressure that happens with rapid change in posture, usually when getting up too fast. Be cautious to sit up/ stand up very slowly -- we don't want you falling.
A doctor should check to make sure nothing else is going on. Also, I think you are taking bp meds also, right? It's possible the dosage simply needs adjustment (up OR down), and this would be important, so do please call the doctor.
