What are some causes of lightheadedness?

Answer by  plantstar (23)

Being lightheaded can be caused by poor blood circulation, lack of oxygen, lack of calories, allergies, and dehydration. Drink a class of water when you wake up, during physical exertion and before each meal. Exercising and deep breathing, like yoga and stretching, can help with circulation and oxygen levels. Maybe try an allergy medicine and see if that helps too.

A poor diet, exertion, dehydration, iron deficiency and diabetes can all be causes. It may indicate more serious conditions such as a brain tumor or embolism. Lightheadedness may also occur when you get up too quickly after lying down for too long, usually as a result of low blood pressure.
