I keep fainting, or passing out when I stand up, it's happened once when i was sitting too. It's got something to do with my blood pressure dropping when I stand, like the blood and oxygen drops to my feet and not enough gets to my brain which makes me faint.
It's been happening more often lately, I guess I'd just like to make sure this isn't going to result in brain damage...
I mean of course it's dangerous if I fell down stairs or something, but I mean just generally - this lack of blah blah blah isn't going to leave me brain damaged, is it?

Go to the doctor and get it checked out. Tell an adult if you haven't already.

It could well do, if you go to a GP he can prescribe meds that will fix it, no biggie.

yes it's dangerous...it means you aren't getting enough oxygen to vital parts of your body (maybe more than just your brain) and oxygen is something that is required for any part of your body to function properly

...get it checked out

Don't stand up so fast, take your time, and if your doctor doesn't already know about this, you need to tell them ASAP.

I think you're not eating enough or are not drinking enough water. Those are usually the main reasons a person faints. If this doesn't work, you must go see a doctor. I don't think it could cause brain damage, but you could get hurt really bad when you fall. And besides, fainting isn't healthy for your body.

Yes I would see someone about that. Lack of bloodflow to your brain can be seriously detrimental. I had a problem like that about five weeks ago where I almost passed out while getting dizzy walking up the stairs. It was because the veins or arteries in my neck were compressed upon by a muscle.

I think in your case, it probably won't stop if it hasn't stopped for a while. Go to a doctor.
