Although dizziness itself isn’t a disease, it can often occur as a symptom of an underlying health issue
People are being warned of an unsettling symptom when standing up could be an indication of a heart problem. According to health experts, dizziness can be a sign of cardiovascular disease, especially if you suffer from it when standing up too quickly or for a long period of time.
However, it is important to bare in mind that in most cases, dizziness associated with heart problems is accompanied by other symptoms. These may include shortness of breath, swollen extremities, frequent fatigue or chest pain. Orthostatic hypotension — also called postural hypotension — is also a form of low blood pressure that happens when standing after sitting or lying down. Orthostatic hypotension can cause dizziness or light-headedness and possibly fainting.
