Well, when you stand up, your atmospheric pressure in your scalp is a couple feet higher than sitting down, so the pressure exerted by air molecules O2 and CO2 and N2, make the pressure on your head higher.

Anaemia, weakness, malnutrition, prolonged illness, cardiac arrythmias and low blood pressure can cause dizzy spells.

Also infection and problems in middle ear can give rise to dizziness. See your Doctor to check this out.

Why do i feel so dizzy?

Dizziness has a multitude of possible causes, therefore you need to elaborate on your issue. Have you always had dizzy spells or did they just start happening recently? Do they happen when you stand up suddenly, randomly or what?Vertigo causes profound dizziness and disorientation and is caused (I think) predominantly by ear issues; ear infections, sinus infections etc.When you sit or lay down and abruptly stand up, this will cause dizziness in many people as well.Certain med.s like opiates (oxycodone, vicodin, xanax, etc. often prescribed for gen. anxiety and pain) can also cause dizziness

Can the flu cause neck pain and dizziness?

From personal experience, when sick with a cold or flu, I'm most of the time laying down. When I first stand up I mayexperience dizziness.

Can muscle spasms on your back cause you to collapse?

No, back spasms would't cause a person to collapse. More likely, a spasm causes a person to abruptly stand still, bend in the direction that gives the most relief, and causes a "seizing" or tightness in the back muscles that are affected. Typically, if the person can lean or bend holding onto a wall or piece of furniture, or sit or lie down, the spasm eases and the person can move about again. Most back pain has spasms of varying degrees.
