Blurred Vision On Standing, Headache, Tingling Sensation In Body. Orthostatic Hypotension?
When I stand up, my vision starts to gradually get blurry. It gets to the point where I almost fall over. Also, my body feels tingly, and my head starts to hurt quite badly sometimes. I think we re going to schedule an appointment with my family doctor soon, but. From what I have read, it kind of sounds like Orthostatic Hypotension .

Hi, welcome to healthcare magic
You are right it sounds exactly like orthostatic hypotension.It can be caused by medication, reduced blood volume, certain diseases that can affect a nervous system in the body called the autonomic nervous system.
It would be best to stand slowly.
Medication can also be used.
Your doctor will determine the cause and treat appropiately
I hope this helps
