Sounds like a standard issue head rush. Don't get up so fast.

That happens to me a lot. I have fainted a couple of times from it. Its usually from after sleeping, or resting, where blood isnt flowing through your body, and all of a sudden you get up fast and walk around and get light headed. I dont know why it happens, but it does.

It's the capillaries in your legs. Normally they have to be very small, to counteract the effect of gravity. But when you sit or lie down, they dilate to allow blood to get into your legs. If you get up too quickly, the capillaries don't reconstrict fast enough, and blood temporarily rushes to your legs. A lot in the legs leaves less for the head, which can lead to dizzyness, or if your capillaries are particularly slow, fainting.

Could be worse. I had a misfiring nerve that sent the signal to my brain that I had lost a lot of blood. My brain's response was to tell my heart to slow way down to prevent blood loss. My heart responded, which dropped my blood pressure to the point where I suffered dizzy spells and fainting. The dizzy spells would sometimes last for 3+ hours. Semi-fortunately, if I did pass out, my body would "reset" itself and I'd be fine once I came to. Scared the daylights out of a lot of my classmates.

Ok, sorry to be the health police, but isn't anyone going to recommend BRianGiga see a doctor?
We aren't doctors. We can't tell what is wrong with you from here. Just to be safe, tell your doctor what is happening. Your physician can test you to see if you have hypoglycemia or low blood pressure or a weird nerve in your brain that tells your heart to slow down.

I must agree with Laura Moncur. I had dizzy spells, blacked out vision, all that stuff also. You should see a doctor, mine was because of blood pressure, yours may be that, or something totally different. I was scared that it might happen while doing something that could put me or someone else at risk (ie: driving, carrying something heavy) Really, I urge you to see a doctor. In the mean time, if it happens again, just stop, and try to get your bearings, drink plenty of water, and get up slowly.
