Blacking out?
14/f
A lot of times when I stand up or sit up after laying down, I black out. My vision goes all black for about five seconds and I feel a bit dizzy.
I don't know why this is happening... I haven't changed my eating or exercise habits at all. I eat enough and I do about 30 minutes of cardio a day.
Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks

That is caused by low blood pressure. It's probably not serious but you should talk to a doctor about next time you get the chance.

This happens to a lot of people, it's because you're moving to a different position than before & the blood rushes out of your head a bit.
To be on the safe side, I'd mention it to a doctor, but unless you exhibit other symptoms, he'll probably tell you the same thing.

It can be caused by an iron deficiency. That's one of the "perks" of being a female... losing blood every month kind of messes with the iron levels. Start taking a multivitamin every morning (I prefer Flintstone's) and see if it gets better. If it doesn't, go to the doctor.

when a person starts blacking out it's caused by a change in blood pressure. you should take things easy for the time being. drink lots of water! when you sit up or stand up do it slowly. it's all caused by blood pressure so if you want to go to the doctor they'll prescribe something for it.

Make sure you have been getting 8 hours of sleep each night and not to get over heated. These things could be causing it. Hope this helps.
