-- Posted by Lilmissblondi at 8:38 pm on June 17, 2008 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? -- Posted by efil4seeknay at 8:38 pm on June 17, 2008 u prolly hungry -- Posted by BOOM BOOM BOOMx3 at 8:38 pm on June 17, 2008 happened to me, but things would turn black. it was because i was battling anorexia. make sure you're eating well. -- Posted by Melodious Trance at 8:39 pm on June 17, 2008 Um...no. Go ask a doctor.. -- Posted by xo Tobey at 8:39 pm on June 17, 2008 get up slower. it happens to me too -- Posted by Lilmissblondi at 8:39 pm on June 17, 2008 yeah ive had anorexia. and im still recovering from that.. but shouldnt that be going away? -- Posted by Jmmgamer2010 at 8:39 pm on June 17, 2008 blood sugar maybe -- Posted by jessica20110 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. -- Posted by porcelain cinderella 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. -- Posted by catielove09 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! -- Posted by josphat10101 at 8:42 pm on June 17, 2008 dont jump up. take your time getitng up. if that doesnt work, talk to your doctor. -- Posted by jillian0102 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 -- Posted by Autumndaze 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. -- Posted by Define Your Line at 8:47 pm on June 17, 2008 Maybe you should go see your doctor. -- Posted by froufroufrou at 8:49 pm on June 17, 2008 this happens to me sometimes.  but it only lasts a couple seconds so i don't care -- Posted by Lilmissblondi at 8:52 pm on June 17, 2008 what kinds of things could the doctor say it is?? -- Posted by Autumndaze at 8:56 pm on June 17, 2008 Quote: from Lilmissblondi at 11:52 pm on June 17, 2008 what kinds of things could the doctor say it is?? An imbalance in your Equilibrium. Um, I don't know...loads of things. You'll never know unless you go see one. Ive been having the same problem.
