Passing out


Question Posted Friday August 14 2009, 1:06 pm

So I think I might have a serious problem. Whenever I get up from sitting on a couch, or laying on my bed, I black out. Its like when I get up, I feel wierd, then I try to hold onto something to keep me from falling, and then there is a ringing in my ear, and it feels like Im in a whole different place, like Im not aware of what's going on around me until the episode stops. I would say it lasts about a minute. Today I hurt myself because I let go of what I was holding onto, I hit my head, hurt my arm, and hurt my leg. It's starting to scare me. I have tried getting out of bed slower, but that doesn't help. Can anyone help me? Im desperate.

There is a condition called Vertigo that can be very serious. Just to rule that out, I would just take a trip to the doctor and have him check you out.

he can tell you exactly whats wrong. Because, trrust me, this is NOT normal for a healthy active 17 yr old.

hope this helps! =]

Don't worry, this happens to me too. My doctor said it was just a low blood sugar problem, so just be sure to keep your blood sugar level stable :) hope I helped!
