What Causes Dizziness And Black Out Upon Standing?
For about a week now every time I stand up I get lightheaded, dizzy and I black out for at least 5 seconds. I drink a lot of water during the day and I can't think of why this is happening.
Anyone have any ideas?
I'm 5'4" and 115 lbs, 17 yrs. old. if that helps.
I haven't hit my head recently either.
