I had this when I got up and walked around and spoke to my Dr about it. She had to take me off of my BP meds. Are you on any BP meds? If so that may be the reason OR you may need to up your Water in take. Apparently Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor which acts with sodium. Once it binds it is flushed out by the kidneys. This makes a lot of sense to me because I was always very thirsty, so I started drink more electrolyte drinks. Once I stopped the Lisinopril the dizziness went away and the thirst did too.

Also, some people on here have said that if the shake or wiggle their legs a few times before getting up then the dizziness goes away.

I am 7 months out and sometimes when I stand up, I get really dizzy. My husband, who is a nurse, says that I need to drink more Water and get more salt in my diet. Then he went into the chemical explanation of why and I zoned out...I can't science.
