I have trouble standing as well among several health issues. I would suggest having your blood sugar checked. Diabetes can cause swelling in your legs and lightheaded symptoms among a number of other issues. Also, have your thyroid checked. You would be amazed how much your thyroid can affect your body. I have hypothyroidism and type 2 diabetes. Since you are low on finances, I will give you a link that might help you decide if you have some form of thyroid disease. http://www.medicinenet.com/thyroid_disease/article.htm
