Is it normal to black out and fall down?

Sometimes when I get up I have a dizzy spell I think. Everything goes black, I can't see, and I lose control of my muscles. I usually fall to the floor, sometimes I hit my head on something and something I shake a little bit. It only lasts for a minute at the most. It's humiliating when it happens in front of other people.

    yea you could just need more suger in you. I get dizzy sometimes beacuse im anemic but that sounds more than just needing a vitamen, time for that doctor trip

  • I asked my doctor about my dizzy spells (keep in mind im hypoglycemic) and when my sugar isnt low its normally because he said I just get up too fast and since im laying down my blood has slowed down and when I get up idk it speeds up and gets me dizzy idk to tell you the truth i dont really remember all i know is he said it was normal for me at my age (of 16). I honestly dont know if you have the same problem but you should get it checked by a doctor.

    Lots of things it could be. Instead of asking us, go see a doctor immediately as it is not just going to go away

    My doc says it low blood pressure. Since it only happens when u stand, it sounds like the same thing. Go se ur doctor and it's apretty easy thing to fix
