Physical Warning Signs No Woman Should Ignore

Dizziness Upon Standing Up

FindATopDoc

Everyone has experienced dizziness when they stand up a little bit too quickly at least once throughout their life. But if the problem is recurring, it is worth checking out as this may be a sign of a serious medical condition such as orthostatic hypotension, which occurs when the body is having trouble controlling its blood pressure levels. Dizziness upon standing could also be triggered by certain medications, such as antidepressants and high blood pressure medication. Anemia due to an iron deficiency and dehydration can also bring on a dizzy spell. Even if the issue is a mild one and can be solved quite easily, it is crucial for women to get an accurate diagnosis and treat the cause, since dizzy spells can be dangerous if they cause falls and fainting in dangerous locations.
