Sometimes when you stand up too quickly you may experience a feeling of lightheadedness. It feels as if you might faint or pass out. The medical term for it is "presyncope," which is pronounced pree-sink-oh-pee. It refers to feeling faint without actually passing out. Usually it is caused by temporary low blood pressure--that means less blood is going to your head. It may feel as if you will lose your balance upon standing.

For people and Migraines, the lightheaded feeling is a common symptom. It is often associated with vertigo or dizziness. Often people who suffer from migraines use the words dizziness and lightheadedness interchangeably, because the symptoms are so similar. Vertigo describes the sensation or the illusion of spinning or moving when you are motionless. Lightheadedness is a feeling of faintness or like you’re floating, without the spinning sensation. Less than 10 percent of migraine sufferers have this type of migraine lightheadedness. It is most common among people in their 40s and 50s. Often the person has suffered from migraines for years without symptoms of lightheadedness, which suddenly appear. It is unclear exactly why some migraine sufferers experience lightheadedness.
