I feel dizzy & get a huge headrush when I stand up?

Question

I get an enormous head/pressure rush when I stand up from sitting and rapid heart rate. I am 23f, smoker, poor diet...could I be diabetic?

Answer 1

hypotension(low blood pressure) or your not drinking enough fluids and your body is dehydrated..People who dont control their diabetes tend to use the restroom more often than others (so you lose more fluids) You feel dizzy when you stand up because your body is trying to compensate the forces of gravity. Your blood pressure drops and your heart rate increases

Answer 2

Hi there !!! I use to be a smoker, and my dear if I only knew then what I know now I would have quit years ago.

Your dizzy spells could definitly be high or low blood presurre, or low or high sugar levels in the blood. You need to go to a doctor ASAP and get that checked. Your diet or lack of is also a great factor. We are what we eat. Just like a car that will perform according to how we treat iit, our bodies need maintnence. So please take care of yourself.
If you have anyone diabetic in your family, more the reason to check that out, even if you don't you need to go to the doctor.
Best of health to you

Answer 3

Low blood pressure.
I got that either.
Exercise is the cure.
Also don't stand up too fast. Look up to the ceiling when you stand up also helps.

Vampire_kitti might be right. But all the same, I strongly recommend you get your glucose level checked. I also advise you to get a CT scan and an MRI as they may be signs of other possible problems.
