recently i have found when i stand up i get black spots infront of my eyes like would happen if you were about to pass out, it doesnt happen every single time and i dont pass out, but i was wondering has anyone else experienced this and what it could be?
I have had my eyes tested recently and they seem fine appart from needing glasses whilst at the comp etc.
i will mention it to my doctor but just wondered if anyone experienced this or has any ideas?
thanks

It's just a drop in blood pressure
If you've been sitting for a while and you get up fast, you'll get those spots.
It's nothing bad or serious if it happens occasionally, it's just a drop in your blood pressure from rising quickly after a period of inactivity.

I would advise you check with your doctor in case your blood pressure is not at a normal level and also to check the inside of your ears. The workings in them can give a feeling like you are about to pass out also if you have an infection. Please do not wait too long as I am a firm believer of the soonest a thing is seen to, the soonest it is fixed.
Good luck.

Like everyone says it probably does have to do with blood-pressure and it can be considered 'normal', though you will want to check with your doctor.
But also note that it is relevant which direction the spots are moving (away from you, toward you, floating, etc) so make sure to mention that as well: just in case.

Yes it is quite common, if you jump out of bed for the loo too quick the same happens, it is normal. Some times you will feel sick too!
Take your time

Have your doctor check your blood pressure. It may be a little low.

its to do with tour blood-pressure but it can also be lack of iron too but to be on the safe side i would speak to your doctor or nurse and they mint check your blood pressure and also do blood test like they did with me

This is called "orthostatic hypotension".
