Ringing in ears and arms started to wobble after standing up

Hello,

I've been having this constant issue (probably for the past 2 years) where every time I stand up after sitting for a long period, my ears start to ring and I start to feel very lightheaded and feel like I'm about to fall over. This usually lasts for 3-5 seconds. Today though, it was much worse. I had all the same symptoms, but then when I was holding onto something to not fall over, my arms began to wobble uncontrollably. Why am I having these problems, and why does it seem like it's getting worse? I try to drink plenty of water, and stand up when I can, but I do a lot of driving so I can't stand up often.

Thanks,

Jack

    It's been 2 years and you haven't seen any doctor yet? Please find a specialist in your area.

    it could be blood pressure related. If you don't want to go to the doctor (which you really need to) go to the grocery store or pharmacy and check your blood pressure.
