Reasons for Feeling Light Headed. Lightheadedness can be caused by a variety of conditions. It is a fainting or dizzy sensation primarily caused by a decrease in blood flow to the brain. High blood pressure, heart attack, pregnancy, anxiety and depression are common reasons why an individual may experience feeling lightheaded.
Dizziness or light-headedness when standing up occurs as a result of abnormal blood pressure regulation. Normally, when people stand, gravity causes blood to pool in the veins of the legs and trunk. This pooling lowers the blood pressure and the amount of blood the heart pumps to the brain. Low blood flow to the brain causes the dizziness and other symptoms.
