Take vitamins.

L Arginine capsules.

Other Nutritional supplements for blood flow.

How is your Blood Pressure. I assume it is low. Blood is not going to your brain.

Drink lots of fluids.

This sounds a lot like me, actually. I’ve been diagnosed with something called Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. When sitting or standing too long I get dizzy and feel like I’m about to faint. You can also have chest pains and shortness of breath with this too.

Have you ever had your blood pressure checked? Usually with this, your blood pressure drops upon standing and your heart rate goes up, trying to get the blood flowing to where it’s needed.

I’d been to doctor after doctor for years before I got a diagnoses. Most doctors haven’t heard of it. Maybe read up on it some and if it sounds like what you’re going through, mention it to your doctor and hopefully they’ll be able to point you in the right direction.

You went to the doctor. What did he say? He certainly must have given you some sort of idea.
