What Causes Headache And Dizziness On Standing Up?

i have a problem. whenever i stood up, i always had this massive headache. my vision started to blur and i had to hang on to anything so i don t fall. after a few seconds, the headache would be gone, but then i will start to feel my neck stiffen. also, whenever i bend down for maybe 2 minutes or more, i always feel this irregular pain around my waist when i got up. is there anything serious going on? because i m only a fifteen-year old girl.

Hello,

Possible causes of headache and blurring of vision on standing is:
1. Postural hypotension.
2. Severe anemia.
3. BPPV.
4. Synchopal attack.
Please get it done blood pressure examination on lying down and standing position. Check hemoglobin status, use tablet vertin 16 mg thrice a day for five days. If symptoms don't improve, please consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
