you may have low blood pressure. standing up to quickly results in dizzy spells i get this and when i get up quick or if im walking it can happen,i sugest you go doctors get him to do your blood pressure which is done on your arm no needles,also when you feel it come on again wiggle your feet as it brings the blood up to your head again,i had this happen when i work on the wards in hospital as im on my feet so long. please get it checked out though

You are gonna have to see a doctor. I know its not what you would like to hear. But, there could very well be something wrong. If nothing major the only other thing I can think of. Would be an ear infection, that usually throws your balance off. I am not so sure though about the passing out part of it. Hope you get better soon.

Sorry, you must see a doctor. it could be a type of seizure (fit), so get it checked out. You will almost certainly be sent to hospital for a brain scan. Don't worry, they don't hurt. But take some money with you. When I had one - I could have bought a picture - but didn't have any money on me. A picture of the inside of my brain would have made a great talking point if I'd have framed it!. The good news is - it's probably to do with puberty and changing hormones and a temporary problem - but you still need to get it checked.

I use to get this in high school. The doctor say I was anemic, my body way on on iron. It was especially worst when i had my period because of the loss of blood your also loosing a lot of iron. Go see a doctor as soon as possible because you could injury yourself. And make sure someone goes with you. It could also be something more serious like seizure! Don't wait a minute longer!!

It could be that you're dehydrated. Like everyone else said, you should probably go get checked out just to be sure, but I have passed out before because I was dehydrated. So make sure you're drinking lots of water along with eating well. Hope you feel better soon.

You should go to the doctor.
Get somebody to take you ,to many blows to the head can cause blood clots to form in the brain .
Then possibly kill you
report back when you have been . add a comment to this question

honey this could be something serious and you need to tell your mother so she can make you an appointment. It may be five miles away but she should be the one taking you as you are still a minor under her care.
Please do this and set your mind to rest.
