Why do I feel sick when I stand up fast? Guess I'm just lightheaded
Standing up too fast can cause orthostatic hypotension. This big medical phrase means your blood pressure has dropped because all of the blood rushes to your feet, leaving you feeling dizzy & off-balance & nauseous because your brain is lacking the needed oxygen rich blood, when you jump to your feet. Sometimes in the scramble that we call a day, we get so overly excited and the anxieties start to set in and we just feel we have no more time to waste. We start to ask ourselves "Wasn't there something I should be doing right now?" then franticly leap out of our seats. All the colors start to blend together, everything becomes blurry and you find yourself walking into the bookshelf and knocking everything over! I know i'm not the only one. This rash movement of standing up too fast can cause orthostatic hypotension. This big medical phrase means your blood pressure has dropped because all of the blood from your brain and other parts of the body rush to your feet, leaving you feel dizzy & off-balance & nauseous because your brain is lacking the needed oxygen rich blood. This is common especially if you are dehydrated, take doctor prescribed medications (like water pills), or have chronically low blood pressure. The feature that makes the No Mo Nausea Band unique is that in order to feel back to normal you can smell the band which causes a regulation of the apneustic (breathing) center of the brain. You instantly feel less nauseous and more like yourself.
