feeling lightheaded/like i'm going to pass out after masturbation
Is this at all normal?
Every single time, after masturbation, when I stand up to go do whatever I'm doing next, I feel really lightheaded and get a head rush (like my vision starts to go black). Usually it's not too bad, just makes me a little bit unsteady for a few seconds. Sometimes it's worse and my vision totally goes and I have to hold onto something for a second until I can see again.
But yesterday I had an even worse experience. So, immediately after masturbation, I got just a little lightheaded, walked around a bit, got a snack, whatever. I laid down on my bed after to do a bit of homework. About five minutes later, I had to get up to grab my laptop charger. I walked out to the living room, feeling slightly lightheaded, and asked my housemate if she would move so I could grab the cord (it was behind her). My vision started going dark very quickly and I had to sit down because I was in the middle of the floor with nothing to hold onto. I was shaking and dizzy and couldn't see at all. I don't know how long I was down there, because the next thing I knew I was staring up at her as my vision cleared and she was asking if I wanted her to grab the cord for me.
It was pretty terrifying. It shouldn't be a blood pressure issue, because I've had my blood pressure taken a couple times in the past few months. I really don't want to have to go to my doctor, but I'm a little concerned.
I know people on this site aren't medical experts, but maybe somebody has some advice?

True we aren't medical experts. But to hear from others who may have experienced something like this, can possibly give you some comfort if nothing, or know what to do next if more serious.
It says you are female. I am too. So I can share that sometimes a female can definitely be affected by the strength of an orgasm whether masturbation or with a partner. It is not unreasonable , and normal for women to briefly find they can not move their body, this still while in bed, I can't move arms or legs for maybe up to a minute but it also doesnt happen every time, just when its been a long strong one or a lot of consecutive orgasms. I also call it having noodle legs, you feel like you are lacking bones. I have even gotten up to walk to the bathroom on the few occasions of going for hours intensively and when I get up too fast, I am walking like a drunk person, weaving and banging into the hallway walls. However, I have never blacked out partially or totally.
SOmetimes, people can get lightheaded with sick with a flu. That lightheaded ness I've had in past where I feel like I might faint, is always preceded by a warning where the color starts to bleed out of everything I am looking at, duller to greys and I immediately sit down and hang me head down to get the blood flow back to me head. That is usually what the issue is when we start to feel like blacking out, its a lack of blood to the head, or it can be a fear or something stressful that sets it off. Heres my own example, back when I was a kid in school, they had a nurse come and administer vaccination updates there. My parents gave permission and I was in line waiting my turn. I was fearful because instead of a regular shot, this one would be administered by a machine the nurse ran instead. I was afraid it might hurt worse, and being so scared got the adrenaline going. Once I calmed myself, the body may have tried to overcompensate for the adrenaline thereby the blood not pumping as well and my vision going grey. I remember immediately slidng down to lean against the wall I stood by and hang my head down til it cleared. But I can number these possible black outs in my life on one hand if not two. If it is occuring more often, I would be concerned too.
In males, the blood rushes to a certain part of their anatomy and that is what makes them hard and stiff. Females have a different way the blood rushing to their genitals but it does. There is tissue at the womans G-spot that will feel wrinkled like a prune to you when not aroused. Once you have worked it a while or during sex with a guy, this area will have blood pumping into it to make it swell, It won't feel pruny at this point anymore. On the outside, the rush of blood can make a ridge stand out leading up to the clit. Nothing really to see but you can feel it with your fingers. It might not seem like as much blood there as with a male, but keep in mind that most men do not experience consecutive orgasms as a female can. As long as she is still receiving stimulation, she can go from orgasm to orgasm without any time inbetween for the blood flow to return to normal. So yes, women can experience something too like loss of strength until the blood has had a chance to start flowing like normal. I am sharing what's normal first so when I tell you that you may want to see a gynecologist, you understand why. I don't believe this is normal, but you may be one of very few people with this fainting/blacking out condition because if it is a known condition by doctors, it has to be pretty rare. Thats why you need to talk to a doctor, preferably one who deals with female genital related conditions, like a gynecologist. Your regular doctor would have to see you first, but they aren't always right. Mine thought I had pink eye but it was much worse so the meds he gave didn't help. When I went to emergency cus it was a holiday and I was scared besides miserable, I was referred to a specialist by the hospital and I was right, what I found on line, "Blepharitis' is exactly what I had.
So if your regular doctor doesn't know or you feel like he is guessing, you could tell him it would give you more peace of mind to just see a specialist and ask for a referral to a gynecologist. I know plenty of people with normal blood pressure who have had heart or circulation issues what were'nt discovered until something serious happened or by accident. A woman in her early 60s recently had a chest xray for something unrelated but a doctor caught something on there he had another doctor look at. She had a congenital heart condition. She'd had it all her life and it never caused any problems. Now due to her age and not being very healthy due to other illnesses and not taking good care of herself, she is facing open heart surgery in a few weeks. Of two twin teens at a church I used to attend, one twin found his sibling dead in bed the following morning. The parents shared in church that an autopsy showed it was a congenital heart condition. Both boys were in athelethics and had no problems prior and were in good health from their regular checkups.
I know of a circulation related disease that isn't serious but good to let your Doctors know about anytime there is need to take a prescription or you have a new doctor. It is called Raynauds disease where smaller arteries that supply blood to your skin narrow, limiting blood circulation to affected areas. I am sure there are plenty enough circution disorders or diseases that could possibly be connected to the blacking out, losing sight thing you suffer from. If it really wasnt serious but you had to take a medicine the rest of your life to prevent problems, wouldn't you want to know. If it was not related at all to your black outing or losing sight, your doctor would want to do more tests on you to discover what it is. What if it is an eye related disorder that in itself isn't noticeable until some things change like having orgasms. I can't say there is any connection but losing sight or having balance issues walking still after 5 minutes is no longer a normal response to orgasm. If you are a rare one in a million for whom this is just another normal and not serious, it would be good to learn that too and at least you will know that you have to find ways to work around it and be as cautious as you can be. So, go see your doctor. I think its important enough cus the orgasms may be the only trigger at this point in your life of a more serious condition that may not give off any more obvious hints of its existence. Finding out earlier may be better if a medication or procedure and can the problem now rather than wait and let it evolve into something much later that might no longer be able to be treated , or relieved as well. Good luck.
