Answers:
When you stand up to fast, your blood pressure drops. That is usually why you get light headed. It could also be caused by a number of things: low blood sugar, loss of blood, naturally low blood pressure. Look at this site. It might help. But definitely, above all else, call your doctor.
You are very close to fainting. You need to see your doc ASAP and get this checked out before you fall and injure yourself one of these times.
Sounds like your blood sugars are low. Please see your doctor just to rule out anything serious. Have you been eating regularly? Your doctor will be able to help you rule out the many different things it could be.
That used to happen to me almost everyday! I fainted three times because of it! I started drinking more, and it stopped. I think it is because you are dehydrated.
It sounds like one of a number of things. It could be low blood sugars, but that wouldn't explain why it's happening when you stand up. It sounds to me like it's positional hypotension, which is a drop in your blood pressure when you change positions from sitting to standing.
Regardless of what we think, you should be going to a doctor to get this checked out!
It could be low blood sugar, dehydration or many other things. I would suggest seeing a doctor about this asap because it could be very serious.
