Um, I don't know...loads of things. You'll never know unless you go see one. Ive been having the same problem.

Autumndaze Posted at 8:46 pm on June 17, 2008 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. Could be anything. jillian0102 Posted at 8:46 pm on June 17, 2008 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 josphat10101 Posted at 8:42 pm on June 17, 2008 dont jump up. take your time getitng up. if that doesnt work, talk to your doctor. catielove09 Posted at 8:40 pm on June 17, 2008 wow, i had the same thing several years ago... it actually got so bad that i fainted several times. the doctors ran several tests but never really found anything wrong... i havent had a major dizzy spell in a while... you should tell your doctor though! porcelain cinderella Posted at 8:40 pm on June 17, 2008 I used to have/still have that.  It helps to close your eyes for a second after you get up. jessica20110 Posted at 8:40 pm on June 17, 2008 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.
