Head Rushes

[JimJam]

Lately I've been getting really bad head rushes after I get up. Usually it's just that I loose my vision for like two seconds, but sometimes I have to hold onto something and crouch on the ground to avoid falling. I explained it to my mom and she thought I was crazy. Does anyone else get this?

Yup yup. Your mom is crazy. Just get up less fast and they get better.

I used to get it, but less often now. I was less fit and more depressed at the time it was most common.

[Man 2]

All the time.
I was sick with some diabolical flu a few weeks ago, and it was so much worse than usual, like where the room actually spun.

It happens to me when I am around weird smelling stuff.
I was at the river at it happened (I could have simply slipped in)

I don't really get it, but when I stand up sometimes I feel extremely dizzy sometimes, although I don't fall or anything.

use less speed Uhm, no. Never heard of it either.

 Happens to me too, but not as fast. It's  like I get tunnel vision, but then it stops.

once my eyes open i lay in bed still for about 2 hours and get up to take a piss and all of a sudden i get light headed and lose my vision for 2 seconds.

It's due to the blood in your body rapidly moving somewhere else, like if you stand up too quickly then all the blood rushes to your feet for a few seconds.
The solution is simple; just don't stand up as quickly

OF SOMEONE WHO GIVES A stuff

no but really that's some stuff you need worked out with a therapist.

That happens to me but usually 3/4 of the time it goes right to blindness.

This used to happen to me a lot.  Still does, but not as bad since we found the milk allergy.

I get this alot. One time it happened when I was riding my bike and I nearly ran into a car.

It's more that suddenly your heart has to pump blood a longer distance, so the blood pressure drops and there's not enough oxygen going to your brain.

Basically, for a few seconds, you suffer oxygen deprivation.
