So when I sit or lie down, no matter how long I do when I stand up, no matter how fast or slow I stand I get dizzy for like 10 minutes. It has been getting worse, it started at 1 mintue, now i get dizzy for 10. This morning, I blacked out when I got dizzy, my b/f was there he said I was out for 6 minutes. Why could this be happening? And what should I do?

See a medical practitioner ASAP...in an ER. This is a symptom of hypotension ie(orthostatic) . Hypotension can be caused by a variety of things like dehdratyion, anemia, malnutrition etc. Once you find out what fluid is in short supply...then it can be treated. A short supply causes the amount of fluid you do have in your circulatory system to make you faint...then you are lying down enough blood gets to your brain. It could also be something more serious...please seek medical attention !!!

Sometimes when people stand up too fast, there body experiences what is known as a "vagal response," where your vagus nerve is stimulated and your blood vessels get larger and your blood pressure drops because of this. That is why you feel dizzy. But the feeling from this usually goes away very quickly and very rarely will a person pass out. It sounds to me like you should go see your doctor about this problem as it may be heart related. Hope this helps.

You need to get to a doctor. Sometimes i get dizzy when I have an inner ear infection. Some antibiotics should help. I hope it's nothing worse than that. Good luck to you!

Your problem could be several things. Your ears, because the fluid in your ears is what gives you balance. Your sinuses, they can make you dizzy when you are having allergies. It could be your blood pressure also. There are way too many things that it could be. The best advise I can give you is to call your doctor immediately.

That happens to me if I haven't eaten enough or if I haven't eaten enough of the right things. I also had this problem way back before I started my cycle the first time because (according to my doctor) my hormone levels were high and my body was "adjusting."
You should probably see a doctor if your diet is normal and this happens.

And if you aren't going to the doctor first thing in the morning...? I do hope you aren't planning on driving, however. There is nothing you need to do that is more important at this point, everything else tomorrow will wait.

It is possible that you could have vertigo. Try going here-->http://www.emedicinehealth.com/vertigo/article_em.htm. But ultimately, you need to go to the doctor.
