Every time I stand up, my vision goes blurry dark-like and I get extremeley light headed to where I feel as though I have to hold on to something so I don't fall over. A few seconds later i'm fine. What's wrong with me?

The only thing in the world I can think of is so simple: you're not drinking enough water. Try drinking more water. Couldn't hurt. Worth a try!

Light-headedness
A couple of years ago, I also felt light-headed all the time-when I was driving, when I got up from the cough etc. I went to the doctor and she told me that I had extremely low traces of iron in my body. Foods that have large percentages of iron in them are: nuts, spinach, and fish. I also took vitamins everyday to bring more iron into my body. After a couple of weeks, all of the light-headedness went away. So, maybe you should try to drink lots of fluids and more iron in your diet to combat any bluriness. Good luck!
