Does Lower BP Levels Cause Dizziness While Changing Posture?

I am 41 and have been taking Vyvanse 70 mg for aprox. 1 year. Recently while working in the garden I have been experiencing dizzyness when I go from planting to standing. It goes away after a few seconds but I am wondering if this is a low blood pressure issue and if it is caused by the Vyvanse. I have also had TMJ over the last year while on Vyvanse, worse when I am stressed. I don t take any other medications. My last BP reading was taken at work when I felt dizzy and it was 97/74. Usually it is around 117/76 or so. My resting HR on average is around 80. Should I be concerned?

Hi,

Certainly low bp causes this side effects and it's not due to vyvanse. This basically occurs when you suddenly stand, bp further falls and causes decreased blood supply to brain. In order to prevent it, you should increase fluid intake and avoid sudden standing up, you should gradually get up. if still present you might have to wear compression stockings in legs. Lastly medicine are also available for the same.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
