Question

Answer 1

A lot of variables,

it could be something as simple as mild anaemia, dehydration, poor circulation, or even a weight problem!

I'd be inclined to see a doc about it

Answer 2

Hi, I've been through this most of my life only I would black out so bad I'd fall over too. Since this really doesn't happen to me anymore I'm not so concerned. But it would be a good idea to bring it up to the doctor and tell the doc the frequency of it. Sometimes heart conditions can cause this, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're life threatening.  

Answer 3

Your not drinking enough water.

Answer 4

It could be a medication you are taking or possibly a medical condition. Talk to your doctor and see if they will do some blood work ups.

Answer 5

I agree with your mom, you stood up too fast. Try getting up slower next time. If you still blackout you may need to take a look at your diet. Are you getting enough food? Are you drinking enough? Take it easy...

Answer 6

I have that too, my mom said its because i got up really fast, so she said next time get up slower. So your mom is right.

Answer 7

do you feel lightheaded when you stand up? it happen to me sometimes when im lying down then i suddenly stand up i feel lightheaded and everything goes black

Answer 8

you have a low blood pressure.

I have the same problem.

Everything goes black and i feel off balance and after a few second i go back to normal.

Nothing really to worry about.
