Any one know...

[Healer McHeal]

The reason why some times when u stand up you go all light headed and normally nearly fall back down, never actually worked it out other then i think it might be a rush of blood causing it or something.

any one?

 

[Vodkafairy]

its got something to do with low blood pressure

 

[Healer McHeal]

i took a guess it was something to do with blood etc, but some one on here has to know the detailed reason

 

[tRoG]

Yes, it's to do with low blood pressure.

I'm diagnosed with having low blood pressure, basicly, it means whenever I stand up, sit down, eat, or excercise, I get all dizzy and lightheaded. You can combat low blood pressure to some extent by eating lots of salt.

It gets bloody annoying after a while.

 

[Healer McHeal]

i dont suffer from it i dont think, its just annoying that when i stand up alot of the time, i nearly fall over, after that im fine, but its quite trippy to begin with, then it gets old

 

[gunner440]

is light headed when you feel some weird thing moving around in your head for about 10sec when you stand up or something?

or am i misunderstanding this?

 

[k9awya]

its like, dizzy

 

[Moo]

i thought it was normal if u get up suddenly u feel light headed for like 3 seconds ish...

afaik something to do with all the blood flowing away from ur brain as ur head moves upwards suddenly mabye ?

 

[Yaemon]

well... I think everyone have experienced this. It often occurs when you get up fast after you have been lying down. when you stand up fast your current bloodpressure isn't enough to supply the brain with enough blood (oxygen) so for a couple of seconds you feel dizzy until the bloodpressure is "right" again.

So if you stand up fast and feel dizzy.. just lower your head a bit so blood rushes to it again

 

[Healer McHeal]

well at least thats cleared up any way ,

cheers

When I get out of the bath and feel like this, is it because im unfit or low blood pressure?

that can be a lack of oxygen also, and having low blood pressure doesn't mean you're unfit

 

[Glema]

If you have a hot enough bath and stand up fast enough you can actually faint - just make sure there is nothing to fall onto

 

[Archeon]

I'm a freak child, Father's got dangerously high blood pressure, Mother's got really low.

Actually its weird, but my dad's a lot more high strung than my mum. Its like watching one of those 'reaction' websites with the calm picture then the loud noise and the ugly face. Your never quite sure when its going to go off but you know it will and you know watching it happen to others will be fuckin' hilarious

 

[Sharma]

Aha, been wondering why this has been happening now I know what it is, ta.

You can combat low blood pressure to some extent by eating lots of salt.

Thats probably why, I HATE salt, it tastes bloody awful so that my be to some extent the reason why I have the condition.

 

[gunner440]

salt is nice tho sharma

put it on fries ;D

 

[Sharma]

I prefer pepper and vinegar on fries.

And on fish and chips, or practically anything, i'm weird like that.

 

[Chosen]

aah I allways wondered what that was... but it feel kinda good if you ask me ! ;P

 

[Driwen]

chance on cramps in your muscles during a workout can be lessened by eating enough salt aswell. So I guess it has to do with bloodpressure aswell.

Have a slight problem with it aswell, often cut of bloodcirculation to my legs after sitting behind pc for a while (which is I guess caused by low blood pressure). However I have no real problem with sporting.

DVT is caused by excess tissue fluid collecting in your legs i think

basicly we all know the heart pumps blood around but the plasma in the blood is mainly made from tissue fluid which is pumped round with the blood, however is not pumped 'back' with it - it goes back through another system called the lymph nodes. And the way it gets back is by you moving your muscles, so if you sit down for extended time without moving your legs (eg: 4 hours+) then your feet will actually swell with tissue fluid.

I believe dvt can be caused when taken this to the extreme on sitting totally still for 8 hours+

ever been on a long car journey say 5 hours or so and after like 4 hours you have a high urge to streatch your legs?

 

[Brynn]

A piccy for you gunz
