Blood like any liquid obeys gravity. When you are in a sitting position for long periods blood settles to your feet. When you stand up your body and heart were not ready for the position change and blood quickly flows to your feet. This happens more often when you get older. If it is a chronic problem then pressure socks can help relieve it.

You might be having blood pressure issues. It sounds like you are getting hypotension- which means your blood pressure is too low and you stand up too fast and your blood pressure can't adjust fast enough. There are certain medications that cause this as well as other conditions that can cause it. You should see the dr and get some labs done. If that is ruled out go to the eye dr and get a complete exam.

Sounds like you are having problems regulating your blood pressure. It's called orthostatic hypertension. When you stand up quickly the blood drains away. It can be indicative of other health issues. See your doctor.

Classic symptoms of a blood pressure problem. Go see your doctor and tell him/her exactly what you've said here, plus any other symptoms you are having. These issues won't resolve on their own.
Good luck!

It is because when you get up to fast your blood pressure raises. The black spots you see are becasue if this.

Basically this is a type of migrane (cant remember its exact name) but i get them. Don't bother going to the doctors because they'll just tell you to take paracetamol or aspririn.

Could be dehydration, low blood sugar, hypertension, etc.
Check with your doctor.

Lack of oxygen or maybe you are dehydrated.
Also when I'm fatigued it might happen.
