What Causes Blackout And Headache Upon Sitting Down Or Standing Up?
When I go from laying/ sitting down to standing my vision goes completely black closing in from outwards. At the same time I get a searing headache and sometimes become extremley week at the legs. This can last from 1second to 6 seconds. I used to get them a lot but they stopped for about 2 months, however, I had one yesterday and am worried they occur more often

HI
Well come to HCM
Such symptom could be due to orthostatic hypotension one need to take care while standing from the sitting or laying position no hurry in standing just take it easy, if such symptoms happens on and often then this need to be investigated and best option would be CT brain, take care and have a nice day.
