After a tired day of work, I sit down on my couch for a good 20 minutes to relax. I stood up and there goes all different color lights blocked my vision on both sides of my eyes, leaving me blinded for a few seconds and my head feels like its going to explode. What gives??

When you stand up too fast you have a sudden drop in blood pressure which can cause you to be light headed. It can happen to anyone. Have your blood pressure checked next time you are at the doctor just in case. Another possibility is that it may be blood sugar related. If it has been a long day and you haven't eaten dinner yet your body could just need equilibrium. Or a combo of the 2. Ask your doctor if you are really concerned about it.
Take care.

Well low blood pressure gave me something similar when I was 19. Does it all just go black? Well if so then that's what happened me. The doc seemed happy enough with it.

Sounds like you got a headrush. You probably just stood up too fast. Have you ever had a migraine headache?

Maybe drink more water. Dehydration can do a lot of weird things to the body.

That happens to me sometimes when I first get up in the morning. I have no idea why this happens, but you should try getting up slower :)
