it comes and goes.

Answers:
I have the same condition. You have a blood circulation problem. If you get up very quickly, and if you have not been drinking a lot of water and eating a lot of salt, then your blood rushes to your feet, and you don't get any oxygen to your brain. If you don't do anything, then eventually you might faint.

All you really have to do is stay hydrated and, in times of doubt, eat a little salt.

it happens to me and tons of other people. i dont think it is a problem, just get up slowly from now on.

Make sure you are eating right. Check with your doctor...

It used to happen to me all the time, but it was just because of all the junk food i was eating
