Okay well you know when you wake up in the morning, and you stand up and start to walk towards the bathroom, then temporarily everything goes black? You slowly lose sight and get kinda dizzy, then everything comes back and you resume normal life. Anyways.... I am hoping people undestand what I am talking about... I had it longer than usual this morning and a couple mornings ago, and I thought I was going blind. It was kinda scary... Anyone else experience this?

I get right after and stand up after sitting... I dunno what it is though.

I get it when I stand up from laying down or sitting too fast.

Ranger · June 2008

anytime I move into a differently lighted room I do, like if I come from outside to inside, my sight gets cloudy and then everything goes black, it ussually lasts like maybe 3 seconds, its pretty long, I just stand still and let it slowly come back

I get it in movie theaters most of the time or if I got from a dark room to a bright room or the other way around. It is kind so scary but I call them my blackout episodes(started with my aunt calling them that) and they sometimes last up to a minute.

~Topleaf~ · June 2008

Yeah. Well it is something to do with the blood in your head... I know that, but Wow. One minute is pretty long xD dogtrainer, I cannot imagine. It scares me enough to have it last 5 seconds. A minute would be terrifying. o.o

Can be caused by low blood pressure or dehydration among other things.. You really should have it checked out by a Dr if it happens every day and for long periods of time.

I just had that happen to me o.o It only happened once, the other day. It was maybe 10-15 minutes after I had woken up. I got up from sitting on the floor, was going to walk out of my room when it suddenly went black. I saw a little white. that was it. I can't imagine having it gone for a minute either. It scared me when it was gone for 10 seconds. e.e but it's also strange that you happened to post this right after it happened to me. o.o

Doesn't happen every day for me, but most days. And most of the time it is when I get up quickly from sleeping, and usually I only get it for a max of 3 seconds.

It happens to me a lot, happened for about 5 minutes the other day while i was horsebackriding, scared the crap out of me. The doctor told me i get it because of low blood iron. i would go have that checked, they can give you vitamins that help. and they do help, i just forget to take mine.

:OOO 5 minutes? That would be REALLY scary. I can't imagine how scary it'd be. D; Mine only happened for about 10 seconds.

...And horseback riding. I would only not be afraid if I was riding a bomb-proof horse, which usually isn't the case. What if she/he spooked at something, you can't see to tell him/her what to do or where to go o.o Scary.

Hm.. I get it whenever I stand up too. I think it's called headrush. 0.o I hate it, and sometimes it does it for ages, so I just close my eyes, it makes it feel like I'm spinning around the room on wheels.

It happens to me a lot too. Not fun. x3 Perhaps it's orthostatic hypotension? <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthostatic_hypotension"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthostatic_hypotension</a> ...wow. o_O It has a name. XD XD XD LOL Either way though... I don't like it. >_>

dachshund girl · June 2008

HAHA! It is referred to by a real live name! I get it after 'an extended period of rest' and it causes for me 'momentary blindness'.

scary

TerrierSpirit · July 2008

I get that all the time, after standing up to fast. It makes my head pound, everything's black, and I get super dizzy. It's connected to my migraines, I think, maybe not. But when i get bad migraines I lose vision like that as well.

Howdy, Stranger!
