Does anyone experience their legs going purple and discoloured when they sit no matter what positions they try? It's just really annoying. I find that when it happens I generally feel a little light headed when I do stand up. Not a clue what's causing it. Doctor said could just be how I sit so I've tried multiple positions and the same thing happens. The same thing also happens if I stand too long my lower legs and feet go purple and I get dizzy.

One of the replies suggests that this could be related to POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), a condition that can cause blood pooling in the legs and symptoms such as dizziness. Another reply mentions that compression socks and elevating the legs can help with blood pooling. However, it is always recommended to consult with a doctor for medical advice.
