It has to do with blood flow. When sitting or lying down the heart pumps less, because its resting. When you suddenly get up and stretch, your brain is the last thing to get oxygen because its the highest up. Until the heart gets the signal to pump more strongly, the brain loses out. It happens to me and I don't have any problems.

I'm not an MD, but I don't think that is a symptom of a tumor. Do you notice that this is more likely to happen if you are tired or haven't eaten recently? Perhaps you have low blood sugar. Go to the doctor if you can and get some basic blood work done. You never know until you get it checked. I have never actually passed out from standing up quickly, but often get dizzy or lose eye sight, but find that is manageable by paying attention to my body and taking it slow if I feel a dizzy spell coming on! Hope you feel better soon!!!

Hey Im actually experiencing the same things right now! Very Freaky, except I have seizures too. Currently Im visiting the docotr. Brain Tumors are the worst it could be. COnsider a lack of oxygen reaching the brain., That sounds more suitable . GO to a doctor and get a catscan to check for a tumor and an eeg to check for bproblems in your neurons

Fortunately, passing out like that is a self correcting condition most of the time. Passing out happens for many different reasons, the most common ones are lack of blood sugar, being out of shape, locking ones knees while standing. If it happens again, go see a Doctor.

Actually it is normal. You could have an ear infection or something that is making your hypothalamus off balance. So inturn, you could be moving to quickly and your brain is trying to catch up but it is creating a lack of oxygen. That has happened to me before, but if that continues, I would go see the doctor.
