Dizziness: Causes, Symptoms & Treatments

Circulatory Issues

Some circulatory problems could also lead to dizziness in many people such as pregnancy or orthostatic hypotension, or standing up quickly. These conditions could cause a drop in your blood pressure, thus resulting in dizziness. They tend to be more common in those people who take some drugs or elderly people. In these cases, your dizzy feeling often happens in a short period when there is a sudden change in the position. For example, those people with hypotension would feel lightheaded when getting up after lying down. The best way to alleviate the cause is to take prescription medications. [3]
