Its called orthostatic hypotension.It is very common.Blood pools in your legs and when you get up fast,your brain loses blood for a few seconds.You can stop it by just standing up slowly.It happens to everyone.Mostly in tall people.Drink more liquids,mostly drink ones that promote blood cell growth,like orange juice,or food that are high in iron,that helps blood volume.Also,don't sit down for very long periods of time.

uhhh see a doctor? please.

Go see a doctor, these are serious symptoms that have to be looked at.

You might have low blood pressure, but I would get that looked at.

sounds like hypo tension. sometimes if you stand up fast the body can't make the adjustment as fast As needed. make sure that your not dehydrated . this can cause the blood volume to be too low and hard for the body to adjust

May have to do with your blood pressure. Best to get it checked out.

hmm...are you light headed? what i mean is are you squeamish to certain things or aromas or etc. around you that would make you feel nauseous? i wouldn't be too concerned, but if this continues make sure you talk to your doctor. are you sure it goes white and not black? cuz if it goes black, your suffering from blackouts but i've never heard of it going white. anyways, if you're really worried, talk to your doctor...or parents, kay?

get up slower. the blood leaves your head and u get faint

You should definitely see a doctor and have them run some tests but I can tell you that I have the same issues. I am 32 and have been having this problem for many years. After lots of tests the surprising results were that my blood pressure drops dramatically when I stand up. You won't believe the fix...to add salt to my diet. I have avoided salt for most of my life because my mom has high blood pressure and was afraid I might have the same issue. After my doctor recommended that I take in a small amount of salt daily (about the size of one of those little salt packettes from a fast food place) I rarely have the problem anymore.

I am not a doctor so with that being said...Please make a doctor's appointment to be sure that you don't have a more serious issue but in the mean time you might want to try taking in a small amount of salt to see if that helps your problem.

it's not serious i get it once in a while someone explained that to me. once i got out of a taxi and everything was dark and i couldn't see a thing lots of people get it i think it's because of the pressure change or something like that

Wow - could be low blood pressure, inner ear infection, tumor, stroke - wow...call 9-1-1.

Something is either causing you to have low blood pressure, or is making it difficult for your brain to get blood. That is why you feel dizzy when you stand up. You need to lie down or put your head between your legs when you feel this way so your brain can get blood, which may prevent you from fainting. When the brain doesn't get enough blood, it is starved of oxygen and it will tell your body to lie down whether you want to or not (fainting). If you feeling like throwing up means you may have an additional problem that is causing you to be sick. In all, the symptoms you describe suggest you should see a doctor without delay. Good luck!

You need to have your Hemoglobin checked. Sounds like you may be anemic. That means your iron levels in your blood are low. A simple blood check at your family doctors office will confirm or deny this. You may need to take iron pills to get you back to a healthy level or eat a diet high in iron. Either way do yourself a favor and get it checked. Good Luck!!
