Fainting? any ideas?

I have been having lightheadedness, and fainting type spells for about 3 weeks. I saw the doc today. My bp while sitting was within normal range, but when I stood up it went to 148/98.. I've heard of it going low and causing fainting..but any ideas on this?

Also he did order blood work and a cardiac holter monitor.

the doctor probaly ordered elctrolytes and hemoglobin, holter monitor is the way to go, so I would keep my fingers crossed, good luck

Did your doctor check your iron/hemoglobin levels? You might be anemic.
