Answers:
I had this too when I was a younger teenager!. Not the throwing up, but the fainting thing!. I used to dread standing up from sitting down!. It can be embarrassing at times!. I also used to faint in the shower, and found that having the window in there wide open, or the door, helped a lot, even if it was cold! I think it's can be due to a hormone imbalance, it could also be to do with anaemia indeed!. You could talk to your doctor about it!. I went on the contraceptive pill for it, and it cured it completely!. I'm now in my 20's and not on the pill anymore, so have found that it's gone with age!. It could be just a 'young' thing, I don't know!. You will get the best answers from a doctor, so I think you should talk to your doctor about it!.

Oh yeah, just one more bit of advice!. Make sure you stand up SLOWLY from when you've been sitting down!. I found it helped, and it would mainly happen when I stood up too fast!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Do you have extremely heavy periods!?
This could well be the cause!.
Sometimes one has "back-bleeding" and the blood pools and you have sudden gushes of heavy bleeding for a couple of days!.
This kind of bleeding can well lead to anaemia and your doctor must take blood tests and treat you with the correct type of iron medication as there are different iron levels in your blood!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

TSS Toxic Shock syndrom!.

if over use of tampons!.(to absorbant, in to long)

See a doctor rightaway and if your eyes go blood shot than its serious!.

they will (doctors) give you antibiodics and check your livers and kidneys to make sure your "functioning" okay!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just taking iron tablets isn't enough, you need to eat healthy and exercise and if you still get sick you need to visit your doctor you could be seriously anemic and that requires medical attention!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It very well could be anemia or dehydration!. Those are are the easy solutions though!. There could be something else going on!. I would contact a GYN!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
