Sounds like low blood pressure.
Search on orthostatic hypotension.
Be honest with your doctor, if you are blacking out, SAY SO! even if it means he'll have to turn you in and you can't drive for a while. Otherwise if you black out while driving you could cause a fatal accident. I have a neurological condition (Asperger's Syndrome) that would make it dangerous for me to drive, and so I DON"T DRIVE. It's inconvenient not driving, but it would be far worse living with the knowledge that I've hurt someone for the sake of my convenience and pride.

Can be from defiency in certain vitamins or pregnancy or some sort of medical condition. Your best bet is to visit the Doctor, nothing anybody says here will give you the correct answer. Hope you feel better~

Is it possible that you have anemia,like low blood..It does happen to people that are anemic....Maybe you should start taking a vitamin that will help build up your blood....I did that as a child between 12 & 14 years of age and mine was so low I had to take iron and B vitamins ,its worth a try and it cannot hurt...

Could be hypotension. Your b/p drops when you stand up, really need a doctor, if you tell him you are blacking out he is obligated to turn you into the state and you can't drive for at least 6months. My cardiologist just told me this one week ago. It can be treated but just say youre light-headed.

your not really blacking out, its just a normal body response. when you stand up you must do this quickly and it forces a blood to rush down to your chest cavity causing you to do this. next time just try getting up slowly and this should stop with time. :)

Nothing is wrong. You need to exercise more. It will make it happen less often.
