Lotkowski said dizziness is also compared to feeling faint or lightheaded, and may be accompanied by nausea and skin clamminess. A drop in blood pressure which can occur after sitting up or standing too quickly could cause this, as well as inadequate output of blood from the heart.
Lightheadedness is feeling as if you might faint. Your body may feel heavy while your head feels as if it is not getting enough blood. Another way to describe lightheadedness is as a âreeling sensation.â Lightheadedness may be accompanied by clouded vision and a loss of balance.
