When i first wake up

When I wake up in the morning, I get really dizzy and my eyes fade to black and I usually have to hold onto somthing or I will fall over. It is very scary, and I just wanted to know, is this normal?

    You don't say, but I assume all this happens after you stand up for the first time.
    That all sounds like classic low blood pressure. If you are taking meds, you need to get them adjusted. If not, well, either way you need to see a doctor asap.

      i kinda have the same problem, but when I stand up suddently, isn't that normal, I just see black and almost fall down or have the feeling that I do.

  • ehh.. That happened to me every day, for 3 weeks, when I had really bad bronchitus [I've had it several times and have stopped breathing and almost died from it about 16 times] but never when feeling well..

    Showers make me really dizzy/lightheaded/faint tho. seriously, I'll have this extremely heavy feeling on my shoulders/neck, I'll have a reeeaallllllyyyy strong nauseous feeling, and I CANT stand at all.. I have to bend over or be like.. crouching... Dx

    Blood could be rushing to your head if you move too quickly. Drink more water to stay hydrated!!

    Sounds like vertigo. I've had two bad cases of it. If it's ongoing you might want to see a doctor but hope it's NOT vertigo, cuz there's no cure, they just tell you to go home and try not to think about it.

    If your male, it could be the redirection of blood from the brain. It happens to me but I don't get dizzy.

    It could be low blood pressure or an iron deficiency. You should discuss this with your doctor.

    Just your mind adjusting to waking up. Nothing wrong with that.

    This is caused by standing up and waking up to quickly. what helps is leaning your body downwards to your knees when this vision or tingly feeling happens. it will go away but don't rush.

    This happens to me often throughout the day so i'm not sure if it's normal but it may mean we both have a problem. Could be blood pressure or diet or change in physical activity. I'm gonna ask my doc; you should too.

      the diet is ok, but NOT DRINKING RED WINE IS HORRIBLE!
