What Causes Blurred Vision And Dizziness?

Recently, after I stand up my vision goes fuzzy and then I get dizzy. It usually passes within a couple of seconds. Today, when I got up from my desk, the same thing happened but I also fainted and fell on my hands and knees. I woke up when I was on the ground and there was a sudden jerking in my arms, kind of like a seizure. I ve had no history with seizures.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It can be transieant ischemia or postural hypotention. It can be checked by eye doctor on this line and exclude them. It appears you are having epileptic fits, consult neurologist and EEG can be done.

You are advised to be hospitalized and doctor can observe during seizure since this is only confirmative. Treatment like gardinal sodium can be started according to doctor's advise. Dos and don'ts to be followed as recommended for epilepsy. Treatment can be recommended after proper diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
