Does Anyone Have Trouble With Getting Lightheaded?

A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Bonne Terre, MO

I have to do a lot of bending down and standing up at work (I stock shelves) and I always get super lightheaded and dizzy to the point where I have to hold onto something so I don’t fall. I also get really weak in the legs. It feels like I come close to passing out. I get lightheaded even if I reach up high above my head. I’ve almost went home a couple times because it gets so bad. I need advice!

Yes ! True Tammy ears play a huge role , also have you checked your blood pressure there is something called orthostatic ! It is usually with standing and sitting but changing positions might be playing a part here ? Worth bringing it up to your doctor 😊good luck

I have syncope all the time when I go from lying to standing or sitting to standing. It’s not fun at all. My blood pressure is low quite often so that’s why it happens they say. How’s your B/P?

Do make sure you are staying WELL hydrated and talk to your doctor if no improvement. A fall because of passing out will not be a great day!
