What Causes Loss Of Vision And Body Numbness?

Sometimes when I stand up and stretch from sitting for a while by pulling my shoulder blades together I'll suddenly collapse and completely lose my vision but my eyes will still be open and after my vision is lost my body will start twitching for a few seconds and as my body calms down I'll start getting my vision back and I'll feel completely fine afterwards except my tongue will feel numb for a minute but that goes away but I'll have a headache for hours and this has happened before. One time I had it happen I was just standing and I only lost my vision for a few seconds, nothing else happened. I also have been diagnosed with ADHD 6 years ago and I'm 19 years old, 93 pounds and 4 foot 9.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having episodes of loss of vision associated with numbness. This indicate transient ischaemic attacks.
Since the episodes are recurrent this requires evaluation to find out the underlying causes.
The common causes to be ruled out are vascular causes like carotid artery diseases, migraine....
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
