Every time I stand up/sit up my head throbs 3-4 times and stops.?


Question:
What the title says basically. It's not that I'm sitting/laying down for elongated periods of time. I can sit for 30 seconds, stand up, and my head will start throbbing a couple of time and quit. It's not very painful, but enough to be noticeable. I don't get tunnel vision either, so I don't think it's a case of "standing up too quickly". What do you guys think?

Answers:
I have experienced this before, too. I do have low blood pressure sometimes or also I tend to feel this way when my blood glucose level is either too low or too high. I am diabetic, so those things do affect blood flow. It could be nothing, or it could be several things. Best thing is to go to a doctor, preferably begin with a neurologist, who can maybe do a brain scan and rule OUT anything serious with your nervous system or an impending mini-stroke or something.
Once that is ruled out, I would go to a major medical center and get an appointment with a pulmonologist or cardiac specialist, who can take it from there and rule several things, and further refer you to other departments within the medical center until you are satisfied that you have found the correct cause. I know it sounds extreme, but that little bit can be a sign of mini-strokes and they can lead to more dangerous problems. Hope everything goes OK. Maybe it is just a simple thing that can be diagnosed and will eventually go away, but do not put off seeing a doctor, and soon. Waiting can lead to worse problems down the road. If you notice it, then it is not weird to seek medical advice. Good Luck.
u need to eat!!
I think it is enough for you to need to get medical attention.

It could be something that may be very serious.

It may be something like a blood pressure problem too.

The answer cannot be given to you here. You deserve to hear from a medical professional about it.
My sister is anemic and that happens to her once in a while. You may have a blood condition so ask your doctor. Other than that, you might need more food or rest.
