Sometimes the sudden dip causes a brief dizzy spell or head rush. In severe cases it may cause a person to faint. âSometimes people can have it and not feel a thing,â Jones says.n orthostatic hypotension, the blood pressure drops when the body is in an upright standing position, as compared to a reclining position.

Symptoms of low blood pressure caused by conditions or diseases depend upon the specific cause of the low blood pressure. For example, if insufficient blood flows to the brain, brain cells do not receive enough oxygen and nutrients, and a person can feel lightheaded, dizzy, or even faint. If the blood pressure is already low, standing can make the low pressure worse, to the point of causing symptoms. 2  The development of lightheadedness, dizziness, or fainting upon standing caused by low blood pressure is called orthostatic hypotension.
