Sit → Stand Test: Sit 5 minutes, then stand quickly.
If you get lightheaded for more than a few seconds, ask your doctor about orthostatic hypotension — very fixable.
Head-Turn Check: While seated, slowly turn your head left/right.
If brief spinning (seconds) hits with certain angles, that’s classic BPPV — often fixed with a simple repositioning maneuver.
If either test triggers symptoms → get evaluated. Most dizziness is treatable.
