Answers:
It sounds like you have what we call orthostatic hypotension!. It means that your blood pressure drops when you stand up because the blood is rushing down to your legs (by gravity), so your head isn't really getting as much blood as it did before, so you feel dizzy for a few minutes until your body compensates!. Do you take blood pressure medications!? If so, you really should mention this to your doctor and in the mean time, just change positions slowly! Feel better!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am not a professional or anything but my opoinion could be some help!.

Get up at a moderate paste, I believe that your medical background has little effect!. The thing that is happaned is that your blood is rushing to your brain when you jump up right away!.

I do not expect this will happan your whole life!. Get used to getting up at a slowish pace and look up when you do so!. Or course if you do get faint, then just stand there and regain composhure!.

That happans to everyone!. Even me at times!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It could be vertigo!.
This can be caused by a shift in your blood pressure when you stand up to fast!.
One cause for vertigo is low fluid levels!.
Really consume lots of water and see if this helps!.
Your doctor or school nurse can identify vertigo by taking your blood pressure while you are laying down and the again after you stand up!.

If it continues see your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well, it doesn't seem like its really serious!. it's very normal when ya get up too fast or you've got a cold or something!. it happens alot to many many people; it's common!. just try not to be scared!. your mom may think that you're just overly scared about your health!. she's not trying to be mean, she's just trying to understand you!. try to get out & do things, so you don't catch yourself thinking too much about these things!. have friends over, get involved with something that makes you feel good!.
hope this helps!!! take care!!! :DWww@Answer-Health@Com

It could just be from standing up too fast, it could be a vision issue!. Are you eating enough!? Next time you go to the Dr!. just mention it, and see what they say!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

You could have blood pressure that is slightly lower!. That is what I have and at least the good thing about is that I won't have to worry about high blood pressure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
