Dizzyness after standing up from sitting down
Hello, i am a first year medical student, i used to live in texas and now i'm in jordan, i am eighteen years of age and i have a medical question.
For the months i was vegetarian and i lost about eighty pounds(about 40 kg) in three months and i started having this dizziness and blacking out for a few seconds(about 5 or 8) then i get back to normal this usually happend after i get up from sitting down or lieing down for more tha 10 min. and when i get up i get dizzy and black out followed with a banging headace and numbness throughout my whole body. I went to see a doctor and i had a blood test:
my hb=16.8
PCV=48.4
RBC=5.48
these were most of the results and after i consulted a doctor and said i have classical migrain but yet that dosen't explain my dizziness and blackouts. he put me on Rapidus=50mg and topamax 25mg for two months. ok that's for the headaces after but that dosn't expain the dizziness can you help me please?

Heres a link for :
You can have vertigo with migraines or as you'll see from the link many other things. I would ask your Dr. why you continue to have dizziness while on medication for migraines. How is your blood pressure doing?? Hypo/Hyperglycemic?? Make your Dr. aware of this , maybe more testing is in order. Best Wishes.
