Brief Answer:
Dont worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I read your query and I understand your concerns.
Following is my reply:
1) It is unlikely to be any major problem.
2) This happens when you suddenly get up from sleeping position or change of position. This is postural vertigo probably.
3) Avoid sudden changes in position and see if it improves.
4) Get complete blood count to rule out anemia which is another reason for such fainting.
Let me know if you have anymore questions.
Regards,
Dr. Mahesh Koregol
