I'm a 16 year old female, I dont know whats wrong with me. It used to happen once in awhile since a couple years ago, but the past few days, its been really bad. Like, lets say i'd be sitting on the couch watching tv for 15 minutes, and when I got up, I get light headed and all I see is black and I feel like i'm about to fall. High cholesterol runs in my family, if thats got anything to do with it.
I heard it might be a cause of dehyderation. But im not sure, because I think I drink enough water.

I used to have dizzy spells ever since I could remember, when I would stand up, I felt the same thing. I really think thats all it is. If your really concerned about it, go to the Dr.

maybe you're not getting enough iron? If not, try getting some iron tablets because I get light headed and kinda... Go blind for a while when getting up, usually if I get up too fast, and i've been told I don't get enough iron. If not then try see a doctor Smile

that happens when you get up or get down really fast after being still for a while,right? it is due maybe to some blood pressure problems, you should go to a doctor and tell him about this, cause it can also mean you have a problem with your cervical spine.

it could be due to your blood pressure...everytime you stand up or sit down there is a shift in your blood pressure..ever roll out of bed too fast and feel real dizzy? this is why..bc of the shift in your blood pressure...so try not to make any sudden movements, if you're getting up off the couch dont jump up real quick...also stay well hydrated, dizziness can be directly related to dehydration if you're not getting enough fluids
