Do i have a health problem?... [blacking out, faint feeling, light-headed]?

Question

Every now and then i stand up and blacking out, faint feeling, light-headed happens...

Today i went on a roller coster [about 10 times] and had the faint/blacking out feeling on about 5/10? of the rides.... Almost fainted on one of the rides. This happens when i go on the loops...

Whats wrong with me?

Answer 1

It sounds like low blood pressure to me. But it could also be low blood sugar.

It's when upon standing up, or being spun about (on rides) that all the blood flow goes to your lower extremities and does not pump back to the heart. So until you lay down supine or lay down with your legs up, it cannot pump back up.

Its really important that you see your doctor about this. Most people with this need to up their salt intake and fluid. As well, in some cases medications are needed.

Don't ignore it and see your doctor as soon as possible.

In the meantime, if you feel dizzy or feel you might faint, either lay down immediately, or squat.

Hmm.  I suggest you see a neurologist.  I'm sure he will know.

Answer 4

Under eating can cause all those problems.

If your blood pressure is below 90/60 you could be suffering from low BP.
