If you feel this upon getting out of bed quickly or rising too fast, that could be blood pressure related. You really do need to report this to your doctor so that he/she can reevaluate your medications.
vertigo...i get this when i am taking certain meds..check with doc
mostly it means you forget everything....check with your doc though
Check the warnings on your meds. It might be causing this, or it might be low blood pressure. Talk to your doctor and see if he might know, or the pharmacist.
Beyond the reasons already stated relating to blood pressure, it could be a relation to sugar levels. If it is just happening after exercise, before meals, etc. it could be an indicator of onset diabetes.
Check with a docltor for a diabetic check.
"Light headedness" could be related to several entities..
low blood sugar (did you eat that morning?), anxiety,claustrophobia,agoraph... (fears of closed-in spaces and open spaces respectively). Inner ear infection/fluid, and vertigo, sudden change in your blood pressure that may be positional (changes from when you lay down, sit or stand). You don't mention which meds you are on so it is difficult to determine if they are contributing to your light headedness. Get in touch with your MD who prescribed the meds and let them know what is going on with you.
