i think i have a problem, like a health problem, but im not sure what. every day for over four months, when i stand up, i start to black out, but never completely, and get dizzy. almost every single time i stand up, and every day for sure. (its like, have you ever stood up to fast, and you started to black out and got dizzy, well this happens to me daily, all the time). i try to not let it get to me, but about three months ago, i did this in my shower and ended up completely blacking out in my shower. i am always getting dizzy. i eat plenty of food, but i also have slightly high blood pressure. would that have anything to do w/ it?? Help!

Go to the doctor. Low iron maybe? YOu need to look at your diet - but have a professional do it, because you can;t even stand up!

Sounds like you need to make an appointment with your Doctor. Do you take any kind of medication for your high blood pressure? These could make you dizzy. Have you ever had your blood sugar checked? Becoming dizzy when you stand up is a symptom of something and I think you would do well to check with a professional.

Time to make an appointment with your doc! My father had the same issue - he ended up passing out in a tree stand while deer hunting, and broke his collarbone (it could have been SO much worse!) A year later, the doctors have determined it is heart related, and he is getting a pacemaker.
The sooner you go, the sooner they can get to work on 'fixing' the problem! Good luck~

This could be a serious thing like blood pressure problems or diabetes go to the Doctor.

It could be caused by medication for depression or blood pressure. It could be caused by diabetes. I don't know your age, it could be pre-stroke symtoms. Get to the doctor and find the cause, it might be a small thing like drinking more fluids. People who get dehydrated sometimes experience this as well. Don't play with your health and find out later its serious.

My guess (though I'm not a physician): it could be your high blood pressure, low blood sugar or an inner-ear blockage/infection or a combination of all these.
Best to consult your family doctor though as they're more qualified and have access to your medical history.
Good luck!

well there is a condition called orthostatic hypotension. that is one reason to account for your dizzyness as you stand. are you sure your blood pressure is always high? the symptoms you discuss are usually associated with low bp. do you exercise? that would go a long way to helping you. always check with the doc first though. explain your symptoms to her or him and let them do some tests.

It sounds like postural hypotension. Your blood pressure drops when you stand. You need to talk to a doctor about it.
