Light-headed
5 Answers
Whenever I have been sitting for longer than about 10 minutes, especially if I am tired, if I stand up suddenly it makes me very light headed and dizzy. I have had my blood pressure checked recently so I know it isn't that. What could it be?

The advice was, as usual these days, drink more water. It's not serious, you just have to learn to live with it and not jump up too quickly.
