whenever i stand up after sitting down or when i get up in the morning i always get really light headed.. why does this happen?
sometimes i have to hold onto something because i feel like im gonna fall over. And every now and then things turn white. it also causes headaches.
why does this happen? is it normal?

happened to me, but things would turn black. it was because i was battling anorexia. make sure you're eating well.

I was never quite sure why it happened to me, but I got it all the time for no reason. It's just go black. Now I get it because of my eating disorder, I know that, and I've fallen over before.

I used to have/still have that. It helps to close your eyes for a second after you get up.

i read recently that the most common reason girls/women feel lightheaded and get dizzy is because they arent eating enough calories...it may seem like you are, but pay more attention to how much and how often you eat

Omg, the same thing was/is happening to me.
I don't know if its the same for you. I'm supposed to wear glasses. (I don't know if it had anything to do with it) But.. as soon as I started to wear my glasses again all of that went away. I don't know, go to your optometrist?
It happens to me when I don't wear my glasses. I should go too.
Go to your doctor.
Also, do you have an ear infection?
It could be an imbalance in your/with your(whatever it is) Equilibrium.
