headaches when I stand up
by beekaboo, Dec 03, 2005 12:00AM
Have severe headaches when standing up from sitting or lying down. Blood pressure was 160/99 lying down and dropped to 134/84 when standing. B-12 level was low and cardio homocysteine level was high. Have had three b-12 shots, and they seemed to help. Now the headaches and dizziness are back. I'm so frustrated. Any suggestions?

Just recently realized that BP was high when I take it sitting or lying down.(150-166/88-99)
Systolic always DROPS 15-30 when I STAND UP. But I get a pain in my neck and a bad headache.
Diastolic drops very little, stays the same or rises one or two points.
After the episode, and the headaches go away, the BP returns to normal for a period of time....until I sit down and stand up again....then the headache comes back.
