Sudden Head Rush, Vision Went Black. Why Is This Caused?
I was sweeping (barely moving) when I got this sudden head rush, and my vision went black, I felt light headed and almost fainted. I felt lightheaded and weak on and off for the rest of the day. I ve had this happen before, not just the normal sitting-to-standing head rush that a lot of people get. Why is this caused? I ve been tired a lot lately too, even with getting a good 8-10 hours of sleep a night.

My sincere advice will be better you go to an Ent specialist and get it checked. these sudden blackouts may be the effect of vertigo which happens due to some ear problems which are mostly curable with medications. these problems are independent of the sleep cycle.so get checked as early as possible.
