This sounds like low blood pressure to me. I have a similar problem, assuming you are talking about "seeing blackness or colors" and not passing out when you stand up. Make sure you are eating healthy foods, including enough iron in your diet. Dehydration can also cause this problem, so also make sure you are consuming at least 8 glasses of water (not soda or juice!) a day. You should also avoid caffeine and eating too much sugar which will cause a drop in blood sugar, which can cause low blood pressure and dizziness. You should also get checked out by a doctor to make sure there isn't anything major wrong - they will probably say what I did, in which case, if the problem gets to be a nuisance, you can always try acupuncture.

This is called syncope (or fainting). It might be caused by blood pressure problems and may be a sign of a problem with your heart or your nervous system. It is important that you are see a doctor and get a thorough examination to find out what the problem is and what can be done about it.

It sounds like you have orthostatic hypotension issues. This can be a side effect of a medication you're taking or caused by something else. You should make an appointment and talk with your family doctor. He/she can help you with this.

Low sugar or low blood pressure or both, see your Dr. as soon as possible!

You could have low blood pressure, or you could just be dehydrated. See your doctor.

low blood pressure, least you won't have to worry about high blood pressure. Do you smoke anything? might be your problem.
