Dizziness
With lower blood pressure throughout the body, the flow of blood to the brain is less efficient, which can contribute to dizziness. For some, dizziness comes on after standing upright for too long. If a sudden decrease in blood pressure results in dizziness, it could be caused by orthostatic hypotension.3‘Dizziness - Symptoms and Causes.’ Mayo Clinic, 15 Apr. 2020, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/dizziness/symptoms-causes/syc-20371787
Individuals who begin to feel dizzy should find a place to lay down until this symptom subsides. Vertigo could also be a sign of low blood sugar or problems with the inner ear.
