I experience sudden headaches when I stand up quickly or try to work. What could be causing this pain, and what should I do?
Sudden headaches when standing up quickly may be caused by a drop in blood pressure (orthostatic hypotension), dehydration, tension, or an underlying issue with spinal fluid pressure. Ensure you stay hydrated, rise slowly from sitting or lying positions, and rest if needed. If the headaches are severe, frequent, or associated with dizziness or vision changes, please see a doctor for proper evaluation.
