What Could Cause Sudden & Frequent Dizziness ?

Hello

Since a year or two I've been having these bizarre "attacks". Sometimes I stand up and get this sudden dizziness, everything turns black and I have to hold on to something because otherwise, I might just fall. Everything turns back normal about 3-5 seconds later, but I feel incredibly tired afterwards.
It happens at least 2 times a week, once a day.
I'm 16 years old.
