I black out for like 5 seconds?

Question

i experience this thing with my vision. About 4 times a day, my vision all of a sudden turns dark/light and i cant see anything for about 5 seconds and i get disorientated and it feels like i've passed out but no one else can tell.

Answer 1

could also be from a concussion or something.

Answer 2

I was wondering. Does these episodes happen after suddenly standing up after siting down, or sitting up after laying down? If so, it could just be due to a rush of blood to your brain, due to your heart having to suddenly work harder. This is also known as a form of hypotension. However, it could also be due to a number of other things, like low blood sugar, or pressure, so you should definitely talk to a doctor about this, just encase.

Answer 3

That sometimes happens to me too, when I'm not eating enough.

Answer 4

GO to your optical doctor immediately I know someone that  was born with normal vision. When she was 14 years old suddenly she couldn't see for one day. The next day she got her vision back. But unfortunately the next day she lost her vision again and she never got it back. So go to the doctor now you don't want to be blind.

Answer 5

That sounds like one of two things, a seizure or hyperglycemia. I would ask the doc about it and let him run some tests.

Answer 6

Go to your family doctor for a checkup.  If you need to see an opthamologist, he'll tell you.  What is happening to you may have nothing to do with your eyes.  Please tell your parents and get checked out.  Don't take chances with your health.

Answer 7

it can also be a low amount of blood flow to the brain

you should probably see a doctor to make sure it is not something serious
