i do lay around and do nothing now, so it could be Orthostatic hypotension. i checked it on wikipedia. it isn't that bad. i just wanted to know what it was


Answers:

you are experiencing a head rush, my dear. totally normal

Orthostatic hypotension (also known as postural hypotension and, colloquially, as head rush) is a sudden fall in blood pressure that occurs when a person assumes a standing position. Symptoms, which generally occur after sudden standing, include dizziness, lightheadedness, blurred vision, and syncope (temporary loss of consciousness).
