Why Do I Feel Lightheaded When I Stand Up?

[@ILOVEMINECRAFTFUL]

does anyone else have their sight go black for a bit when they stand up?? no???

Yep, I go completely blind for several seconds when it happens.

I play the flute and when I hold a note for too long and am out of breath I see those white dots... I wonder if they are related to the blood pressure drop around the eyes. Like when astronauts' vision deteriorates when in space because of pressure changes around the optic nerve, the increased blood pressure in some individuals could have a similar effect!

[@bilalmalik5002]

I'm 16 (Nearly 17), this happened too often for me so I went to my doctor who told me to document when and how things happened. I noticed a few things, I would get a head rush when I got up from the sofa or my chair while I was doing something mundane like watching KZbin or the TV. I would get insane head rushes after I got up from intense study sessions, I had one where I fell backwards after my vision tunneled out and one where I cant even remember what happened but I woke up on the ground with a bruise on my left arm. I would NEVER get a head rush if I jumped up from my chair after some Gaming (I play FPS games on PC and they're kinda hectic in the sense they get your adrenaline levels up) And then we started talking about diet and a fter a brief discussion of Sugar, Caffine and Nicotine (I don't smoke or vape btw) he told me that I need to cut out energy drinks from my diet as fast as possible. It took around 2 weeks and then I was home free and these head rushes have completely subsided. That's my story. Hope it helps :)

I fainted once after donating blood. I felt the dizziness sitting up. Next thing I know, I'm dreaming. At this moment I think I'm at home sleeping, dreaming I was swimming underwater, and I heard faint voices in the distance. As I swam up, I woke up, and was terrified because I forgot everything, being at the mall, donating blood... The nurses were surrounding me with ice packs and telling me to stay with them. I was in the same stretcher as before, so I began panicking thinking I was in a terrible accident. And then it rushed back to me that I had just donated blood. My boyfriend came with me, he said my head starting bobbing and that I layed down. He said my eyes began twitching like I was having a seizure and the whole experience has traumatized him from ever giving blood xD Before that, I was like you and never fainted before, just got dizzy. It was pretty terrifying for me though!

And it felt like I was about to drop to the floor. I knew I needed to get somewhere cold. I immediately found a corner with ac coming out the vent. I sat down to the floor back against the wall and leaned my head closer to the vent. After like 10mins of relaxing there I got up but still felt dizzy so I drank some water and sat in a cold spot again. Finally after a few more minutes I didn't feel faint. I wounder if it was because I had a cold, with a cough like spell, I had just got over a few hours ago was what caused the faint like feeling. Everything fading to black was the scariest part.

@@katebonddd oh.. that's sad :( I tried staying more active and reduced screen time.. I guess that's why it's not been happening to me for a while..

Do you know why?

[@brittanymiller3505]

Ok so I'm not dying thank you for this!

[@TheColorHopeIsBlue]

I'm prone to orthostatic hypotension and vasovagal hypotension, but it's really odd how different those two conditions feel. With the orthostatic version, I feel otherwise fine, but I'm suddenly dizzy and I get this odd feeling in my legs that makes me drop to my knees. With vasovagal hypotension, I not only get that feeling of weakness but also nausea, sweating, turning pale, and graying out. You would think since both involve a drop in blood pressure that they'd feel somewhat similar, but I guess it's different pathways of nervous responses? :/

Any foods help? 🤔

When I am Sitting on the couch, and stand up after a while my head hurts and like my vision gets kinda blurry!

[@eimyrodriguez2670]

This video was really helpful

[@nillawafez3979]

I have low blood pressure and my orthostatic hypotension is really severe. I actually can’t remember the last time I’ve gotten up from a chair or bed and haven’t had any sense of dizziness. Most of the time when I get up I have to wait a few seconds and then I’m fine. Other times I see stars for a bit and I feel really lightheaded. And sometimes-thankfully not too often-I notice I’m really dizzy, I try to hold on to something, and I do actually black out for about ten seconds. Because my body pretty much completely lets out and starts shaking, it can look like a seizure to some people. It’s really weird because, during that time when I go blind and black out, I am kind of semi-conscious and that’s how I’m able to at least try to hold onto a wall. But yeah, not a pleasant experience 😃

[@cemreilgaz4643]

This happened to me last night, i normally am not a stranger to low blood pressure, especially when getting up but this time it was severe and I tried to hold on to the door frame but my eyes went dark and it was almost like a glitch. Scared me so much

[@raidshadowlegends1010]

I fell the other day and banged my head 😭

[@raidshadowlegends1010]

Lite heded

[@t0rteli]

same

[@greatestever8825]

This happened to me last week and I split my thigh open from a porcelain bowl that was on the ground when I fainted. It was a centimetre close from hitting one of my nerves, thank god that bowl was there to stop me or i would've smashed my head into the sharp edge of the bench. Please everyone, take your time when standing up, because you never know exactly when your last moments are..

Thank you @Alexa Singer i needed this

[@TheDevilDarling]

why are daytime naps often more satisfying than a good nights sleep?

[@parth_1907]

nice que!

[@vvaldbeere]

+Kori Skene Because all of our animal ancestors don't have a sleeping pattern. In nature you just sleep when your tired. Humans just prefer to sleep at night because our eyesight isn't suited for nocturnal activity so we can't see shit at night.

[@RoScFan]

what is stretching? why do we need it? sometimes I've gotten horrible head rushes from stretching not from standing up.

[@jdnsjss1969]

Yes.thats it

[@daniel-oe4et]

Thanks. I just had this wild experience happened to me.

[@MonoChorMe]

Very pleased to know what causes this now... Since I was always wondering... (hence I get that dizzy feeling a lot --- and heck I'm not even overweight) - Thanks =)

[@JohnDoe-rr1fz]

Has anyone ever fainted after this? It happened to me yesterday, I stood up, my vision went dark, I fell, and when I hit the ground I immediately woke back up

[@fuckdig9421]

yea like 5 minnutes ago i fell and banged my head into the door ahahha

[@parthkhanayat420]

i have fainted once due to this

[@mallikarjun.ssidanna2420]

Love you guys,omg I feel soo much better now

[@PranithBloodGaming]

I once stood up and felt light headed and my vision gradually began to black out but before it fully blacked out it just stopped and I could see well again. Did this happen to anyone else?

[@Crystan]

I almost passed out on one occasion after doing a jump from a squat position back at school. Needless to say I aced my landing, and by aced I mean face-first into the ground.

[@alexsheard4185]

This happens to me all the time. The worst was when I was at the top of the stairs, and then I actually did black out, fell down 14 stairs and knocked myself out on a tiled floor below. The moral is; always sit down if you feel light headed and your vision starts going.

[@BestPropertyDealz]

I sought out this video because I experienced this sort of incident just now as I stood up suddenly to use the bathroom after watching KZbin for 1 hour. I felt my head lighten and heart rate increase, then woke up on the bathroom floor. Scared the hell out of me.

[@thebatmanover9000]

It is because you took one to many bong hits.

[@peoplethings8643]

Would people with lower blood pressure find it easier to experience postural hypotension, compared to people with higher blood pressure?

[@bensemusx]

Yes

[@ISmokeKushnPopBeans]

+AlaskanHumpback This doesn't seem like a simple yes/no question. Hypothetically, either side can be argued because of the complexity of blood pressure regulation as well as the plethora of ways you could have low blood pressure in the first place. Dehydration low blood pressure (the common one we get from standing up when we've been on the couch without water for awhile) probably makes you more susceptible to fainting/dizziness. In an athlete, their increased parasympathetic tone-induced blood pressure may make them less susceptible to fainting because of the compensatory mechanisms in place that actually permit that physiologic low blood pressure in the first place. But maybe the answer is just "yes" but I'd want to see that data!

[@bensemusx]

***** If you want more then yes I'd look else where then KZbin. The comment section isn't known for it's medical knowledge.

[@ISmokeKushnPopBeans]

I think you meant to reply to AlaskanHumpback.

[@bensemusx]

***** You were the one that wanted to see data so I replied to you :)

[@uniqueplayz7979]

Just happened to me for nearly 10 seconds. My vision kept getting dark and my head felt like it was floating and my balance was acting up. It was kinda weird.

Why do people gulp when they're worried?

[@vivalaoldies]

Ronny Don it actually just happened to me right now while working out. Good thing for me I knew that it was only happening when was on the floor & got up too quick. I'm just gonna start doing workouts on my feet because getting up from the ground during a workout and getting up quick hit me leery hard. Felt very dizzy. Hope this helps

[@lonleybeer]

This happens to me when i just sit in the couch or in bed

[@lacybug4575]

I have been doing this today every time I stand up this helped so much thx
