Why do I blackout 1 to 5 times a day for short periods of time?

Question

You know when you've been sleepin all day and you get up to fast and you end up kind of blacking out for about 5 seconds? Well that's what I get except it just happens any time of the day whether i'm sittin or standin. Sometimes it doesn't happen at all but more often than not it probably happens about 3 times a day (on average). The blackout (or whatever you want to call it) lasts between 5 and 15 seconds and once in a while i have to lay down on the ground because my legs give out on me and once i get back up i can't remember why i was on the ground. But that only happens on occasion. Does anybody know what might be wrong? Thank you for your answers in advance

Answer 3

Please go see your doctor this is really not a question up for guessing.

You could have anything low blood sugar, seizures,TIAS but we wont know all we can do is guess if it is happening daily several times a day

IT IS WORTH A VISIT TO THE DOCTOR

This is important enough to talk with you doctor, It could be something as simple as allergies, sinus ear infections or stopped up causing your equilibrium to be off...but you dont want to take any chances.

I hate going to the doctor. Hate it with a passion but it might be worth just a call.to the nurse..ok .

Answer 4

low blood pressure and/or anemia...go see a doctor and have these checked out.
