I have (controlled) high blood pressure and I often feel dizzy when I stand up (or bend down and then back up again) quickly. My doctor (welll, PA) says it's a matter of hydraulics related to age. "Just get up more slowly." Can't fault her for the Occam's Razor approach....
Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome. - Booker T. Washington
