Feeling dizzy when I sit or stand up

Even just sitting up in bed is making me feel dizzy. I have a headache but the paracetamol is downstairs and I black out most of the time when I stand up, but I haven’t fainted for a few months.

I am drinking plenty of water and have eaten a salad and a cheese & onion roll so I don’t think this is related to my diet. The banana that my mum left for me has a giant bruise on it so I threw it into the bin.

I don’t know if this is a dangerous thing to experience, or if I should lie down until it passes.

I’ve managed to fetch the paracetamol and also put some table salt onto my hand and licked it off so hopefully that will help soon

if you eat only salads it’s probably why you feel dizzy. you need to eat many things.

You’re probably dehydrated and malnourished.

Drink lots of water and eat something!!

Mmhmm…maybe consult with a doc or call an ambulace to get checked out. Blood test for infection markers and lungs heared for pneumonia. You could measure your temperature sharply at 6 pm. If its a small fewer it could be a pneumonia.
