People who get dizzy several minutes after standing up may be at risk of more serious conditions and even an increased risk of death, according to new research. Feeling dizzy, faint or light-headed after standing due to a sudden drop in blood pressure can be a minor problem due to medication use or dehydration. But when it happens often, it can be a sign of a more serious condition called orthostatic hypotension.
