This is kind of a weird question but yeah.

No - your blood rushes to your head because it's pulled there by gravity. In a zero-gravity environment, regardless of how you orient yourself, the only force acting on your blood is your heart. So it would never "rush" one way or another, no matter which way you flip yourself.

If there is no upside down in space, you cannot turn upside down. If ever you experienced a blood rush in space, you could never determine the cause as being because you were upside down.

What the others are ignoring is the acceleration created by the act of turning upside-down (spinning) The blood would want to spin outward away from the center (to both the head and feet) but only very momentarily.

Actually, the answer is that in space, blood will always be rushing to your head more than usual because your body is used to fighting against gravity and pumping blood upwards. However, it does not matter any noticable amount which orientation you're in.

No, because there is no gravity in space. Gravity is what makes the blood rush to your head down here.

Lack of preassure and matter and gravitational pull would cause your lungs to explode before losing conciousness and then you would never find out the answer, heh. At 0 Gs, your blood would probably flow freely at any angle/orientation because it isn't forced towards your feet all the time. This would probably cause an unusual effect on your arteries which have adapted to the environment on earth, making circulation much easier in all dirrections.

You half answered your own question. The blood would only rush to your head in the presence of a gravitational field.

No, because gravity is what would make it rush to your head or to your feet.
You can get seriously sick from staying in space for too long, so they either come back to earth regularly, or spend time in artificial gravity.

u know, its not about upside!
its because of the gravity, also ur weight

No, it wouldn't. Gravity makes that happen. No gravity in space.
