Is it normal to get a "high" or dizziness when i stand up?

About 1 out of 3 times I go to stand up i get this intense dizziness and it feels like I'm high and I just start laughing and my mind races. I truely LOVE it when this happens but I've never heard of anyone else getting this. Does this happen to you or anyone you know?

P.S it only lasts for about 3 seconds.

    It doesn't actually feel amazing when this happens to me. It's just annoying :/ I just feel dizzy and can't see for a bit.

    I'm quite sure that it's caused by a momentary drop in blood sugar when you get up. Yeah, it happens to many people. You're the first one to say that you LOVE it and that it feels like being high though.

    I tried something like what omgalexalex said. I can't really explain it, but I can do without passing out and I feel the 10 sec high..hardly do it though its pointless but feels good..weed is better

    If it happens when you get up from sitting look up "orthostatic hypotension". If it only occurs after standing up from a laying down position it's probably "benign positional vertigo" and you've got a mild inner ear infection.

  • That happens with me cause I'm anemic I don't have enough iron so I have a low red blood cell count, it's quite common but could become fatal.

    It's definitely not a drop in blood sugar. It's your blood pressure. See "orthostatic hypotension."

    I hate it when that happens cause I feel like I'm gonna pass out. I have passed out before from getting up too fast, and it really sucks! Not fun at all.

    Yeah it's happened to me also. I found that if I stand too fast, lock my knees or anything like that it happens buses to happen while getting out of a long soak in the tub. I don't think it's a big deal. Do not lock your knees it may help lol. But other than that stay hydrated and you should be ok. I hope this helped. Goodluck!

    Well, it's normal to get dizzy when you stand up all of the sudden after sitting for quite some time but I'm not sure about laughing.

    You need to drink more water.
    I know you like it but its not a good thing. Try weed, it feels like that, only better, and longer.

    yeah, def not annoying. its the blood rushing from your head.

    try this:
    1. bend over, touch toes.
    2. hyperventalate (deep breaths, really fast) for like 30sec.
    3. stand up real fast.
    4. put your fist in front of your mouth and blow into your cheeks real hard. (fist is to prevent air from escaping)
    5. PASS OUT!

    you will get a really insane 10 sec high before you pass out. youll pass out for about 5 sec. you wont remember when you wake up. its bad, you can have a seizure, and its just like "the choking game". def feels amazing for like 10 sec, but after that its not good. make sure you land on something soft when you do it. but no, its not supposed to feel good. happens to everyone.
