When I stand up from sitting down I almost pass out why?

Everytime I stand up I either pass out or get really dizzy and lose vision. Everyone in my family has noticed, and I know that its normal to feel dizzy if you stand up to fast. But I feel weird after it happens. And I will fall to the ground unless someone catches me. Why is this happening? Im not to worried just a little concerned.. Its been happeing for a long time now and is getting worse over time. Yes I have seen a doctor but they are still not sure what it is..

Answer #1

it happens to me too, fairly often. Idont know why it happens, but it doesnt bother me that much.

Answer #2

Yes, in addition to what zbob said, drink more water- that can really help. I had that problem for YEARS and then my doctor discovered I wasn’t drinking enough… I don’t have a problem with dizziness at all now that I’m properly hydrated.

Half your weight (in lbs.) in water per day. If you weigh 140lbs, drink 70 ounces of water. Try that.

Dizziness is also sometimes a symptom of anemia, so if they haven’t ruled that out, and you’re sure you’re drinking enough, then get that checked.

Answer #3

It may be that you have low B12. Ask your doctor to check for that.
