Answer #1

There could be so many causes, you havent been eating properly, your dehydrated, exhaustion and lack of sleep, anemia, etc. If this continues after you eat a meal and drink a glass of water contact your doctor because it needs to be checked out.

Answer #2

Well, there could be several causes, but the reason is that blood flow to the brain has decreased. Some common causes for this are postural hypotension - the re-distributing of fluid in the body, hypotension - low blood pressure, heart disease, or something as simple as anemia, an inner ear problem, or just standing up too fast. Try getting up a little slower and see if that helps. If it’s a persistent problem, you should see a doctor.

Answer #3

Probably you got ortostatic hipotension… Causes are many as mandyloo had properly put it. Meanwhile ask your doctor to do soma cheks… Try to stand up slowly not abruptely.

Answer #4

The exact same thing happens to me, I think it’s my ears though because it happens even when I’m standing sometimes.

Answer #5

I AGREE WITH MANDYLOO. BUT IF IT HAS BEEN OCCURING FOR SEVERAL DAYS THEN U SHOULD PROBABLY TELL A DOCTER.

Answer #6

DO U SMOKE?

Answer #7
