Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

I need more information in order to short-list the possible causes.

However, from the brief information provided, the possible causes are fall in blood pressure in erect posture; cervical spondylosis, migraine or Trigeminal cephalgia (due to a inflammation of FIFTH cranial nerve responsible for conducting pain sensations from the temple + face + sinus.

relevant specific investigations (as applicable) would be required for pinpointing the cause.


Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me, order required tests, and- based on the reports- will prescribe suitable/modified treatment as advised.

In case of any further queries, revert back to me THROUGH DIRECT PREMIUM QUERY (Paid), addressed to me personally. You will receive- almost immediately- my response in great details.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE all doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Fond regards and have a nice day
