Faintness/Dizziness?

Question

Whenever I get up after sitting or lying down for a while and then start to walk my vision starts to get black and fuzzy, like its caving in. I feel really dizzy and I feel like I'm going to faint and I have to put my head down so I don't. Sometimes I start to lose my sense of hearing and I see weird colors. I'm only 14 but have been experiencing this for a few years. This previous year in school I had to report to the nurses office every morning so they could take my blood pressure. One time, it was so low that they actually sent me home. Please tell me why this happens to me. Thanks

Answer 1

i've had this happen a couple of times it might have to do with your nutrition because the reaso it happened to me was because I wasn't eating right.  

Answer 2

You should see a cardiologist. You may have a rather common condition known as Postural Hypo tension This is when your blood pressure fails to raise quick enough to accommodateyour entire body. I have had this condition for years. It is treatable.

Hi.  My son of 19 now had the same problem when he was your age.  He always had this problem when he would first wake up in the morning.  Usually within the first half hour.  He would faint because of this.  He would fall like a tree falling, thankfully never getting hurt.

He was seen by many doctors to find out what the problem was, from seizures to heart problems.  The diagnosis was to do with the heart, not sure of the reason, other than that his blood was too thick.  He is to drink water before getting out of bed, and to increase his salt intake.  We were also told that he would grow out of this problem. He hasn't had any problems since the diagnosis.  Good luck in your findings.  Hope this helps.
