Blood Pressure Changes
Light-headedness may signify changes in a person's blood pressure. While it's normal for blood pressure to slightly change throughout the day, it could be cause for concern when this coincides with a feeling of light-headedness.
Blood pressure can change due to hunger, dehydration or tiredness after a long day. However, it can also signify something more serious. For example, an oncoming heart attack can be preceded by a change in blood pressure, and may also be accompanied by a feeling of light-headedness.1‘Lightheaded?
