      That’s most likely just normal blood pressure fluctuations. Hypoglycemia is straight up concerning in feeling. Like worse than vertigo.

        A little light headed is perhaps a bit of an understatement to what I feel sometimes. Sometimes it’s “op, almost lost consciousness there for a second”

          Drink more water, get sufficient salt. This happens to me sometimes if I forget those and I’m a 6’/200lb dude. It’s pretty embarrassing having to sit down quickly on a diirty work floor to avoid slamming face first unconscious into said floor.

            Can confirm. I have low blood pressure (runs in the family), and I always need to make sure I’m drinking a lot of water and consuming enough salt or I’ll get crazy vertigo after standing up. Stay safe people!

          Some people with blood pressure issues can literally black out if they stand up too fast. The point is the fleetingness of it. If it’s only for a second or few, it’s most likely not electrolytes nor blood sugar issues.
