What Causes Darkening Of Vision And Weakness In Arms And Legs While Standing?

Almost every time I stand up, my vision darkens a few seconds after I stand up and this happens for a few seconds. I also feel really weak during this, mostly in my arms and legs. Rarely I get a tiny headache for a few seconds too. Is there something wrong with me?!

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Thank you for sharing your query on Healthcaremagic, I have carefully worked through your case and I think you are experiencing a postural changes that lead to postural hypotension( is a drop in blood pressure ) and occurs frequently when a person moves from sitting to standing or from lying down to sitting or standing like your case, just be sure to make soft and slow movements when you go to stand up. I hope that you feel better, take care
