Autonomic Dysfunction
Autonomic Dysfunction

Q. Is the spinning dizziness I experience when I get up from sitting (orthostatic hypotension) actually anemia?

A.

It's different from anemia (a lack of blood). When you stand up, blood vessels need to quickly constrict to send blood to the brain, but the autonomic nervous system's response is slow, causing blood to pool in the legs. Rather than blood pressure-boosting medications, treatment that restores autonomic nervous system function is needed.
