Sure, standing up too quickly can have a lightheaded effect but that's not what causes it.
It could be that the person isn't eating properly, that they're dehydrated, or even more issues that could possibly be worse.
I recommend that you see a doctor instead of asking a bunch of random people (who will most likely give you a false answer because they have no clue what they're talking about) about why you are lightheaded.
If you go by the answer "standing up too fast", when it could be a serious problem, you may find yourself more than just lightheaded.
This coming from an 18 year old girl who has had A LOT of dizzy/ lightheaded spells. I thought it was from standing up/moving too fast because of what a friend told me, then came to find out I have a blood sugar issue that, if not watched, could put me in the hospital.
Many times lightheadedness is caused by standing up too quickly. Also, caffeine and other drugs can cause blood to flow to from the brain.
