Suggest Treatment For Back Pain
Recently I start getting dizzy and feel like I m going to faint. My face drains of color and i have to sit down immediately and then it passes. I thought it was because of my back pain and pinched nerve but this morning it wasn t more painful than usual and I still had these symptoms. Any clue?

Dear patient
You have got symptoms of ortho static hypotension. This happens when you suddenly change the position from sitting to standing and you body takes time to adjust itself and there is less supply of blood to your brain. This leads to dizziness and fainting. This is more common during summer. You need to consult expert physician and get yourself examined. Drink plenty of water and keep yourself hydrated. Avoid direct exposure to sun. All the best.
