Speak up about dizziness

Dizziness can cause falls

Tell your doctor if you often feel dizzy or lightheaded. There are many different causes of dizziness, including some medications.

Ask your health care provider to test your blood pressure lying down and standing up. You may feel dizzy if your blood pressure drops quickly when you get up.

After lying in bed or sitting in a chair, move your arms and ankles then get up slowly.

Dehydration can make you dizzy. Drink 6 - 8 glasses of fluids including water each day or as directed by your healthcare provider.
