Blacking out when I stand up
Inalways black out when I stand up from mostly laying down but sometimes sitting down too. I normally black out for like seven seconds and get really lIgutheaded and have to sit down. Once a month I will fall down and start shaking back and forth for about a minute. I eat a lot and do track and cross country. I am 15 F thats about 115 lbs.I hate soda and only drink water. What could it be? What should I do? Thanks.

Xenolan is right in the fact that you need to see a doctor. Blackouts such as you describe are usually caused by a drop in blood pressure when going from a resting position to a standing position.
This should not be happening to anyone least of all someone your age. Not being a doctor and not having the ability to examine you if I were I cannot say what the cause is. There are several tests the doctors need to run to determine the cause. None of these tests are painful or scary.
You need to tell you parents what is happening and see your doctor as soon as possible. If this happens again before you see your doctor call 911 and have them take you to a hospital Emergency Room. Yes it is that serious.

Since you are 15 years old, you must inform your parents that this is happening, and see a doctor as soon as possible. These kinds of symptoms can be a sign of something serious, perhaps even life-threatening.
