what happens if blood rushes out of your head too fast?

Question

lately ive noticed that upon laying down [whether in a bed or on the couch] when I get up normally, my vision becomes fuzzy for a moment and I become light headed, sometimes to the point to where I just fall over. It's definantly happened more than once, so what could happen to me if it happens too fast? I mean, worst scenario?!

Answer 1

Sitting or standing up too quickly can cause a feeling of faintness or fainting, because the change in position causes blood to pool in the legs, resulting in a fall in blood pressure. Normally, the body quickly adjusts to maintain blood pressure. Inability to adjust quickly is called orthostatic hypotension. This disorder is particularly common among older people. People are more likely to feel faint or to faint when they are standing up. When they lie or fall down, blood flow to the brain is increased, usually restoring consciousness. You would be advised to stand up slowly and in stages. From a recumbent position, first sit up, pause and then stand up slowly, preferably holding on to a solid object like a table or fixed piece of furniture. Should the condition continue, you would be advised to consult your doctor who should arrange for certain tests to be carried out, in order to exclude possible medical conditions. You enquire of the 'worst case scenario' and I will say that it could be serious, or nothing. There are many 'serious' medical conditions to which your symptoms are indicative. To conjecture at this stage would be a fruitless exercise. I hope you will not take offence, I do not intend to evade the question, it is just that there are so many different answers. The act of fainting is referred to as syncope and that is defined as a transient loss of consciousness with an inability to maintain postural tone that is followed by spontaneous recovery. The term syncope excludes seizures, coma, shock, or other states of altered consciousness.

Blood Rushing To Your Head

Answer 3

This is happening to me some when I am on my feet too long, not when standing up from a seated
or laying position. Sometimes I have been standing & bending over to pick things up off of the floor
and stand up straight again & I feel very very lightheaded like I am about to pass out. I always go &
get a cold drink of some kind like ginger ale or iced tea. Anything chilled in the fridge. And sit down
awhile. I am 64 & cannot be on my feet for as long as I used to be able to. I don't even have to be bent
over all the way or stand back up very fast. It is scary & disconcerting. But once I get a beverage
and rest a little nothing is wrong. So I would say dehydration & a little snack would help too. Still it's
weird. I can just be upright for 30-45 mins & this happens.

Answer 4

The worst scenario is that you might faint, which carries with it the risk of striking your head on the way down. Try sitting up and waiting for a moment, then getting up slowly. What you describe is called orthostatic hypotension (also known as postural hypotension or orthostatic intolerance) and is caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure. See your doctor if your symptoms continue.

Sounds like orthostatic hypotension. This is when the blood pressure drops significantly when you change positions, such as from sitting to standing. Your therapist is right, if this is happening, stand up by stages.

Answer 6

You need to have your blood pressure checked. Exercise is the most simple medicine and drinking plenty of water.

Answer 7
