Fluids. I don't feel dehydrated, but pretty exhausted. My issue is... I keep fainting or near fainting when sitting to standing. It happened 3 times today.... thoughts???

check your blood pressure, and I would also speak to your doctor.. It could be a few things.. but I had major dizzyness and it was low blood pressure.

Happens to me all day, everyday long. Doctor thinks its dehydration. Took blood work Friday...everything was perfect.

I experienced the same thing very scary, I still have it every now and then but not as severe . I am 5 months post and it is usually my sign that I need to up my fluids. It was very bad in the first month. Try to get all and if you can more than your liquid amount in daily. When you stand up do it very slowly this gives your heart time to change your blood pressure to accomidate the pressure of gravity on your blood flow. When I feel tierd and faint I first sit straight up(not leaned back) stand keeping my upper part of my body bent wait a few second then slowly bring my upper body to an upright position sometimes it works better than others. If you are too dizzy and faint lye straight flat down and drink at least 20 ounces of liquid then try in an hour to stand again. I remember when I went through this very difficult.Good luck , and I hope time passes quickly and you get back to normal it takes time But you can do this! Stay Strong and drink drink drink.

From sitting to standing is orthostatic hypotension. Look that up. Blood pressure is dropping at that moment. Try taking Iron pills, standing u slowly, and Protein.< /p>
