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

Do you have a headache when this happens?

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

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

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.

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.

No mastergoalie is right. It happens to me all the time. I reccomend getting up slower and ur blood just rushes to your head
