What Causes Dizziness And Tunnel Vision Upon Standing?

Upon standing from a sitting position I often get very dizzy, experience tunnel vision or partial vision and my legs feel abnormally heavy. I feel like I am about to faint. most time is passes if I am able to lean against something or sit for a few moments. It is scary because I can feel it coming on and when fully into it, my brain doesn t seem to be fully functional. Today this happened and I was suddenly moving a few steps forward andal few steps back like a totally drunk person. I could feel myself moving eratically, but really couldn t see my way to a wall. People saw I was having an episode and came to my aid. I take a blood pressure pill once a day hydrochlorizide hctz

Hi,

As per your description venue stand up from a sitting position your blood pressure drastically drops down so you are experiencing various symptoms and you are about to faint but as you again set your blood supply to your brain come back normal I think you should consult your physician as you are already on medication of blood pressure because in this case, your blood pressure is below normal when you stand up from sitting position so consult your physician and if possible stop taking medicine for blood pressure.

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