Why do i get light headed and feel like falling down if i sit for a while and then stand up. I just got up to put laundry in the washer and i had to stop and lean against the wall for a minute. I know ur first reaction is i'm overweight or w/e but i'm 18 years old 155lbs and 6'1" i'm not really active but i dont just sit around all day. It's not that hot either cuz i'm in A/C'd room. What can i do to not fall on my face every time i stand up?

It could be a number of things. Because of your age I would suspect hyperventilation. There could be other issues going on like ear problems. I would consult a doctor if I were you. really sounds like BPPN (Benigh Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), go see a doc.

It sounds like a low blood pressure rush. Get a check up. If that is what it is then it's an easy fix. Also, get up slowly until you see your Md..
