Dizziness When Standing
Posted: 04-23-07 12:40pm

I am a marathon runner and when my training volume exceeds a given level, I frequenlty have dizziness when standing after being seated for awhile (orthostatic hypotension). This symptom is almost non existent when my training volume is low. My diastolic blood pressure is usually below normal ranges, especially during periods of increased training volume (i.e. ~50). My resting HR is usually in the mid to upper 40's in the AM.

Is there anything I can do, besides decreasing training volume, to stop or decrease the dizziness?
