This has been happening to me for years, since I got out of the Navy. Today I completely collapsed in the grocery store. It's scary. My doctor just tells me to stand up more slowly. Great advice.
Same thing my doctor said! Stand up slowly and stay hydrated! Thank God I didn’t fall or anything but still What a joke tbh. Hope all gets well man ! Shit sucks I can’t even work out like I used to anymore without fearing that something bad will happen!
This year I visited my parents who stay in the countryside and they have a fireplace, so whenever I sit on my legs near the fireplace and get up fast I would immediately feel dizzy and almost blackout. Standing slowly makes it much better.
@@iProHydro That makes no sense. Majority cases it's caused by long periods of sitting/lying down and decreased muscle tone due to inactivity. The gym would fix this. You're not going to faint walking round the gym unless you take a nap on a bench.If you work out regularly you should not have this problem unless you have some medical issue.
I hate this feeling! Never used to get this just started up in the beginning of August. Hope everyone in the comment section heals too 100% & can resume their normal lives! Many blessings to you guys! We can overcome this 💪🏼
When i stand i get these but my vision goes completley blurry and i stumble over. Alot of the times my mind goes blank and i dont know Whats happening.
I just start loosing vision And my vision turns partially black for a few seconds but thats pretty much It, I do feel less stable And if I might be able to fall but not enough to actually fall. Or at least I Hope.
When I stand up this screen comes over my eyes and looks like static on TV and I get lightheadedness and stumble around it happened ever since I had my head upside down hiding behind a dresser playing hide and seek
Usually, when I stand up too fast I just start seeing black spots and they grow in size, I stumble back and nearly fall over but I can get my consciousness back within seconds.
@@fatvanilla9516 it's because when you sit down for too long, your blood pools in your legs. When you stand up it causes low blood pressure so you start to pass out. It should be normal but if it persists or happens often you should ask about it next time you get a check-up
I’m 21 I’ve always had a slightly below average blood pressure but was assured it was a sign of good health. I thought it was normal to get out of bed feeling dizzy where I loose some consciousness and become limb in a moment that lasts less than a minute. Recently I woke up feeling like I just stepped off a roller coaster ready to throw up but ended up fainting. According to my doc there is a higher chance of orthostatic hypotension leading to fainting if you are dehydrated which I was. I hope everyone in these comments live a long and healthy life and DRINK WATER DAMMIT!!!
Im 16 and this began at the beginning of 2020 When I stand up i get nauseous, walk in a weird way and my vision gets blurry (sometimes even black) I passed out 2 times with this after helping my father unload groceries from his car I was athletic and lifting weights before this whole thing started and I really want to start exercising again Is there any way I can stop that so I can exercises without feeling like passing out?
I have NEVER seen others with this condition also speaking about their experiences with it. Its making me see that my symptoms are actually common and normal for this condition. I fall a lot, and i have this issue regardless of if I'm standing or not sometimes. Sometimes all it takes is for me to stretch my arms over my head. Or whenever i turn my head/move too suddenly or swiftly. I can't breathe fully anymore, I always feel exhausted. My heart rate will speed up dramatically, then slow down suddenly. I'm trying to learn more about it finally, after 5+ years of knowing, but i suspect I've had it my whole life. Its gotten a lot worse. I'm 22.
I just got diagnosed with this and they suspect mast cell activation and pots is absolutely horrible and it’s interfering with my life so bad I hope you’re feeling better I hope we all feel better tbh
Get an appointment with either Neurologist or Cardiologist and ask them to test you for POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), they might have you doing a tilt table test
I'm 14 and when I stand up too quickly, my vision goes completely black and I get really dizzy. I either stumble around like I'm drunk (usually bumping into things because I can't see) or black out. When I black out, I can feel myself falling, but other than that I'm unconscious. Do I have this? And if I do, who should I tell in case it happens? Should I tell my dance teacher or school teachers?
Gabrielle Montgomery it my be low blood pressure, dehydration, or crossing you legs for a long time I have the same thing, it my be your family history Their are treatments, like drink plenty of water, eat salty food or snacks, and stand up slow and go a little fast faster stand up so your body can get used to it.
It's important to see your doctor if you have frequent symptoms of orthostatic hypotension, because they can signal serious problems. It's even more urgent to see a doctor if you lose consciousness, even for just a few seconds.
I heard of orthostatic intolerance when Greg Paige, the original yellow Wiggle, left the band. He had a heart attack a year ago during concert but was lucky to be alive thanks to a cardiologist there off duty. As a Wiggles fan I hope Greg can cope with this disease.
Great video! Very informative. I usually experience a weird headache paired with flashing lights and dizziness when standing up from bed. Also unable to squat or do any postural exercises due to feeling dizzy and lightheaded/confused. Very annoying. I finally have a cardiology appointment and hoping I can get some type of medication to resume my normal exercise routines. Ive been battling these symptoms for over 3 years.
my whole life ive loved the feeling of this phenomena, i usually feel it coming before it starts and just give into it and let everything go to black then slowly fade back into view, im not sure way but it feels amazing to me have it come over my body and engulf me
When I stand up from siting my vision goes dark,my head feels heavy and hurts a little,I get very dizzy and sometimes I fall,it was gone for about a week but it came back
sometimes i get up and my vision blacks out for a whole like 5 seconds then reverts back, ive always wondering why is does this. thank you for telling me :)
very interesting. I've had it for years , made worse by medications and never addressed by healthcare professionals. It seems to be up to me to navigate between adaptations and declining medications to find a way to cope.
For those who don't know, small fiber neuropathy that affects the autonomic system is also a cause of orthostatic hypotension. Studies now show that c*vid and the c*vid vax can cause these symptoms due to small nerve fiber neuropathy. A neurologist can do a skin punch biopsy to check for SFN, as well as a qsart test for diagnosis. An autonomic specialist (like my cardiologist) does autonomic testing to diagnose orthostatic hypotension due to SFN.
i'm 13 years old and i've had this for as long as i can remember, and when i stand up after sitting/lying down i go blind for 10-15 seconds, and sometimes i have nausea too. is it okay to leave it alone and ignore it? thanks
Emoghost definitely have your parents make you a appointment. My son is 13 and just today was diagnosed with this. The Dr said try not to worry and not a huge deal but a few tests need to be ran. My son also experiences the same thing as you.
I also pretty much go blind and start shaking uncontrollably, with stronger cases I can't understand anything, I have no sense of reality the only things I know are when I have fallen over my body understands that fuck that hurts but nothing more. It's just a feeling where I can't understand anything that's going on. I went to the doctor and they said that it's not a concern and there is just something with my blood pressure and took my blood samples.
Hey guys, I used have this extremely rarely, like once or twice a year, but I was quite overweight.. Fast forward six months I have now dropped some fat, around, ahem, 24kg and feel way more healthy, but now I experience this Hypotension thingy like 5 times a day, each time I stand from my chair.. Can this be because of relatively fast weight loss ? I'll get my blood pressure checked today. Thank you.
I often experience this but it's usually mild. It was a different case a couple of minutes ago though, I was hunched over the sink suffocating and hallucinating and my parents tried calling me back (I was so out of it). It's my first time experiencing that and it was so scary. I have anemia but not as worse as when I was a kid and am not currently taking any medications. Maybe it's time to visit the doctor.
I can't tend to my garden anymore because of this. It's very uncomfortable and causes me to fall over when I'm not holding onto the cinderblock wall, and no, unfortunately, getting up more slowly hasn't helped. I hate it! 😐
My father had a bad internal bleed from high dose pain killer and that lowered his blood pressure. He didn't realize when he was going #2, it was mostly blood. He ended up getting blood transplants and after week or two it finally solved it but the doctors couldn't find exactly where the bleed was, despite various tests and scans and making him swallow some device which he never found in his doody. Father also has various comorbidity issues, like congestive heart and kidney failure. My hubby sometimes wakes up in middle of the night to pee and instantly faints for a second. He works out hard at the gym, he is nearly 60. He drinks a few coffee and teas a day but not too much water. I think his may be from dehydrated, maybe some electrolyte issue, as he sweats a lot and sometimes gets cramps. I give him enough protein meals but maybe magneisum.
I recently stood up and fell down as I lost my vision. Hit my back of the head and i didnt shout as i didnt know what happened. This happens regularly but not as bad as this one. Should I ignore or consult a doctor?. Everytime I stand up it happens and I lose control. I'm 15
@@physiopathopharmaco4190 i went to see a doctor and she said i dont have enough water and she said avoid standing up immediately after bed. she said another cause is because I'm dehydrated and I dont eat well. Thanks for the suggestion to see a doctor. I feel much better know 😉
This happens too me multiple times a day and I just sit down for 1 second and I'm fine but if I stay standing my vision will go "black" and if I don't sit down it will get worse until I fall over. Im 15 years old should I go visit a doctor? I would really appreciate a reply it started again recently. I have stopped smoking weed frequently I went from everyday of the week for 2 months too Friday and Saturday recently is that possibly playing into it?
This is a wonderful job wow, thank you so much for this. I am wondering, is immobilization and bed rest a causation for ORTHOSTATIC HYPERTENSION as well?
I was admitted in the hospital for this when I was 15 after suffering a bad fall resulting in me hitting the back of my head. They gave me and IV drip and jugs of water to drink. 2 days later little to nothing changed when they decided to discharge me and I continued to make the blood pressure machines to continuously beep when standing or sitting and I still remember a doctor speed walking in confused to just see me standing. I still experience these growing blacks while sitting and currently I’m mostly worried about the effect it has on my brain
Hi @PhysioPathoParmaco , I have had Orthostatic hypotension for the past 3 years of my life, (16) and I already went to the doctor. He said it was just growing, but I've had it for a very long time. Could my weight be a contributing factor? (slightly underweight, but eat a lot).
Ok, but what if your fine when your standing or active, but wheni sit down or lay down start either fainting or having chest pain like heart attack, standing back up makes it go away
I did consulted my doctor about this and he says that I’m fine. When I stand up my head feels dizzy&heavy and my vision gets bright&black. It doesn’t matter if I sit/lay down for a long time, just sitting down and standing up makes my head feels heavy. It feels somewhat like when I’m having my carsick. I was born with carsick. It started with that, and later happens often when I’m showering. I remember once it got so bad, that my eyes went from completely brightness to darkness, i lose strength on my limbs, I got tinnitus and then I couldn’t hear anything. I think I almost lose all consciousness, before my mom dragged me out of the shower, where I was half way to the ground. She said that my lips turned purple, and then I got better laying on bed. I think the showering has to do with just the standing up&feeing dizzy, but they might be different conditions. I’m honestly not sure.
I just wanna know if I have this (i’m 14) so this just recently started idk when i think around the beginning of 2020??? I’m not sure but one morning I got up for school went to the bathroom. When I got up i stretched and my vision went all black. Then I lost control and fell, I got up and realized i fell inside the bathtub and my head was hurting a lot. My mom was outside the bathroom and told me she was calling my name a bunch of times before i finally answered. Other times I’ll just stand in one spot for a few seconds before falling. When I get up my head will hurt reallllllly badly. (Even if I fall on the couch or the bed my head will just hurt for a minute)
6 days ago I passed out from this and hit my back on a door frame, my back got quite bruised and just today my back has been hurting when I move my arms.
The first time I passed out, I tried to hold on to a wall until the feeling passed but I was too dizzy to see anything and I knocked and shattered over my mirror. I woke up kind of confused but pretended like nothing happened.
is there a part of the body that would cause this if it had some type of pressure against, like a tumor or a scare of tissue build up that would create pressure on something??? neck area? back of head? forehead ?temple?
This only happened to me once back when I was 18 (29 now). I remember I was sitting on my bed at night doing my homework and I got up quick to put my paper at the standing lamp to see better. Next thing I know, everything was going dark and I realized I was falling over. Then I was fumbling the lamp before knocking it over and falling to the ground. I thought it was because of the bright light. Now I realize it’s because I got up quick.
I have bouts of this, always first thing in the morning. I get up and start moving around making my breakfast or whatever and just feel like I could pass out, and my heart rate seems elevated. Sometimes if I get up real fast I have chest pain, and once my heart rate went to like 120 bpm. I go and lay back down for a few moments and it goes away. But even minor movements do it, like if I'm asleep, and move from my side to my back, my heart rate increases by like 20 beats until my body settles again. A lot of time I think I'm dehydrated at night. I'm skinny too, 5'11 and 140 pounds. I know a lot of skinny people who say they experience the same thing.
Same w me I have a pot in my head which was increasing until I started taking vitamin c n eating right it seems to be decreasing a bit but I get the feeling also at night when trying sleep it’s really uncomfortable but will b getting check sooner this month ! N I’m 5’9 weigh 134
Happened to me for the first time after getting the 2020 or 2021 flu shot when I was 14 or 15. I was in the doctor's office still, waiting for my mom to schedule the next appointment when I just felt really tired. I leaned against the wall and then my knees gave out and the brought me in to lay down on a bed. Since then I've found out I'm anemic. It doesn't happen everytime I stand up and it's usually just 3-8 seconds of blindness but one time I fainted. I went blind, held my arms out like I normally do, reached for my door frame and then just fell. Maybe 5-20 seconds later I woke up thinking woah... That's not good.
I watched this video because I have been experiencing symptoms of orthostatic hypotension like when I stand up I can see at all because of a huge neon green color with some purple taking up all of my vision and I end up either nearly falling or I do fall and usually it’s not to bad but it really gets annoying recently because it has been happening just randomly now with out me even getting up. Thank you for this video I’m going to try to drink more water and get up slower and see what happens.
I workout everyday . I haven’t rested on a while . And today it’s been crazy but I do pee a lot and swear a lot. I am a healthy individual but this is scary and it’s been happening to me lately
I thought clonidine reduce sympathetic outflow from CNS, even it can stimulate the local receptors to cause vasoconstriction. Eventually, which effect will win ?
This has stayed happening recently and I’m noticing it’s getting worse. I used to just get a bit light headed and my vision blurred, but now my vision is almost completely gone and if there isn’t a wall or something to lean on I can’t even stay standing. This last for about 20seconds. I don’t know if I should go to the doctor about this or not.
Rhis has happened to me since i was 14. 2 years after i started smoking. I quit 6 months and it didnt happen and now im smoking again and it happened. Im use to it and i sit immediately and either lay down or grab a wall. I dont fully pass out often but it has happened. Hope this helps any of you
I’m only 14 and this has been going on since I was 12 and I don’t know why. I usually feel dizzy after waking up, sitting, but I’ve only fainted 3 times.
I am 43 year old while I sit in squat position and stand immediately then I feel like fainting and dizzy. Is there any treatment for this note: I am a regular active person daily I am walking and running for 1 hour my bp remains normal 126/80 maximum
when I get this from getting out of bed too fast, it lasts for a long time, and I legit feel like/ think I'm dying. I have to lay on the bathroom floor and hope I'm breathing 🥺
This doesn't concern me since i found a technique of lying down in my knees wherever this happens to me, but later i found out that you have higher risk of dementia if you have this thing that scared the shit of me, since my grandma suffer dementia before she died.
I’ve been dealing with this ever since I was a kid, I’m 24 now and it’s becoming more frequent. I almost always blackout for a few seconds when it occurs and sometimes collapse to the floor if I don’t feel it coming. Has anybody found solutions to it? My doctor told nothing can be done….
They told me in 2017, but now i'm really sure. Absurd! I had absolutely no idea about it "now" didn't know in 2017! Until i get and read the document today, as a adult. Gosh Prevention is better than cure! Why is so little known about the treatment or is it simply not completely curable? I don't believe anymore it will go away on its own.
This happened to me mostly when getting from lower position to higher one like standing up , my vision get black out my eyes open but few sec i will not see anything and a little lost of balance. It got me worried but now i get it
im 13 and i stand up or stretch and either feel dizzy or actually pass out. ive been to the doctor about it and they did some blood tests and nothing has happened and im pretty sure this is it
Almost every time I stand up my vision goes completely black for a few seconds and I get super dizzy and sometimes to the point where my body collapses as if I’m fainting but I’m still conscious as I then get up again 5 seconds later and go about my day….but as well as that it sometimes happens if I’m in the shower for instance and briefly turn my head or when I’m walking and the sun is bright in my eyes……..
clonidine is an alpha 2 agonist reducing the sympathetic tonus, that doesn't make sense, in fact clonidine can be responsible for orthstatic hypotension
@@physiopathopharmaco4190 which is why it can't be used to treat orthostatic hypotension, it can cause it, an alpha 2 agonist is inhibitory and thus slows down the orthostatic reflex making it more likely to not adapt as quickly as possible to the new cerebral perfusion requirements. I'm sorry but I'd really need some citations on Clonidine's use on orthostatic hypotension. You're citing it as sympathomimetic in the vid, which is not true, something is wrong somewhere
Clonidine, an alpha-2 receptor agonist, is used to treat orthostatic hypotension in patients with severe autonomic dysfunction. Clonidine stimulates alpha-1 receptors in peripheral vascular smooth muscle, resulting in acute vasoconstriction and an increase in blood pressure www.uspharmacist.com/article/an-overview-of-orthostatic-hypotension
@@physiopathopharmaco4190 Clonidine is both an alpha 2 AND alpha 1 agonist? oh WHOAW, even tho it's used as an antihypertensive, in higher doses or intravenous bolus doses it loses its selectively, especially in populations with essential orthstatic hypotension where they're more sensitive to its peripheral action. Very interesting, thank you!

It's my first time experiencing that and it was so scary. I have anemia but not as worse as when I was a kid and am not currently taking any medications. Maybe it's time to visit the doctor.
Thank you, I tried using 2 pillows and getting up slowly and it works.
Thank you for the excellent presentation.
I have Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension and Labial Hypertension .. how does those go together??
Why do I get Ortho Hypo when I stand up suddenly when I've been sitting in a squatting position for a few minutes?
Blood flow cant pump all the way to the top
@Eric Lee It’s not, it’s just gravity
I can't tend to my garden anymore because of this. It's very uncomfortable and causes me to fall over when I'm not holding onto the cinderblock wall, and no, unfortunately, getting up more slowly hasn't helped. I hate it! 😐
My father had a bad internal bleed from high dose pain killer and that lowered his blood pressure. He didn't realize when he was going #2, it was mostly blood. He ended up getting blood transplants and after week or two it finally solved it but the doctors couldn't find exactly where the bleed was, despite various tests and scans and making him swallow some device which he never found in his doody. Father also has various comorbidity issues, like congestive heart and kidney failure.
My hubby sometimes wakes up in middle of the night to pee and instantly faints for a second. He works out hard at the gym, he is nearly 60. He drinks a few coffee and teas a day but not too much water. I think his may be from dehydrated, maybe some electrolyte issue, as he sweats a lot and sometimes gets cramps. I give him enough protein meals but maybe magneisum.
Gr8t.made very simple.
May you plz do Propioception🙏(South Africa)
I recently stood up and fell down as I lost my vision. Hit my back of the head and i didnt shout as i didnt know what happened. This happens regularly but not as bad as this one. Should I ignore or consult a doctor?. Everytime I stand up it happens and I lose control. I'm 15
Yes, definitely see a doctor about that ASAP
@@physiopathopharmaco4190 i went to see a doctor and she said i dont have enough water and she said avoid standing up immediately after bed. she said another cause is because I'm dehydrated and I dont eat well. Thanks for the suggestion to see a doctor. I feel much better know 😉
@@Irfck bro plz tell me it can be cure or not can it cure permanently
me suffred in this prblm..
This happens too me multiple times a day and I just sit down for 1 second and I'm fine but if I stay standing my vision will go "black" and if I don't sit down it will get worse until I fall over. Im 15 years old should I go visit a doctor? I would really appreciate a reply it started again recently. I have stopped smoking weed frequently I went from everyday of the week for 2 months too Friday and Saturday recently is that possibly playing into it?
Yes, I would stop altogether and it will probably go away.
I started getting this after taking lisinopril.
This is a wonderful job wow, thank you so much for this. I am wondering, is immobilization and bed rest a causation for ORTHOSTATIC HYPERTENSION as well?
Yes it can decrease muscle tone, and decrease venous return, thus decreasing preload
I was admitted in the hospital for this when I was 15 after suffering a bad fall resulting in me hitting the back of my head. They gave me and IV drip and jugs of water to drink. 2 days later little to nothing changed when they decided to discharge me and I continued to make the blood pressure machines to continuously beep when standing or sitting and I still remember a doctor speed walking in confused to just see me standing. I still experience these growing blacks while sitting and currently I’m mostly worried about the effect it has on my brain
You’ll be ok as there as there not a extremely frequent or fainting for long your fine your brain won’t be harmed make sure to hydrate
When I stand up I get extremely dizzy and sometimes go completely blind
Hi @PhysioPathoParmaco , I have had Orthostatic hypotension for the past 3 years of my life, (16) and I already went to the doctor. He said it was just growing, but I've had it for a very long time. Could my weight be a contributing factor? (slightly underweight, but eat a lot).
Same
Same

Ok, but what if your fine when your standing or active, but wheni sit down or lay down start either fainting or having chest pain like heart attack, standing back up makes it go away
When i get up suddenly my vision goes blind sometimes and then comes back after a few seconds
Excellent presentation- Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I did consulted my doctor about this and he says that I’m fine. When I stand up my head feels dizzy&heavy and my vision gets bright&black. It doesn’t matter if I sit/lay down for a long time, just sitting down and standing up makes my head feels heavy. It feels somewhat like when I’m having my carsick. I was born with carsick. It started with that, and later happens often when I’m showering. I remember once it got so bad, that my eyes went from completely brightness to darkness, i lose strength on my limbs, I got tinnitus and then I couldn’t hear anything. I think I almost lose all consciousness, before my mom dragged me out of the shower, where I was half way to the ground. She said that my lips turned purple, and then I got better laying on bed. I think the showering has to do with just the standing up&feeing dizzy, but they might be different conditions. I’m honestly not sure.
Warm water*** take showers with moderate temperature water also dont stay in there as long hotwater increases heart rate
I just wanna know if I have this
(i’m 14)
so this just recently started idk when i think around the beginning of 2020??? I’m not sure but one morning I got up for school went to the bathroom. When I got up i stretched and my vision went all black. Then I lost control and fell, I got up and realized i fell inside the bathtub and my head was hurting a lot. My mom was outside the bathroom and told me she was calling my name a bunch of times before i finally answered.
Other times I’ll just stand in one spot for a few seconds before falling. When I get up my head will hurt reallllllly badly. (Even if I fall on the couch or the bed my head will just hurt for a minute)
6 days ago I passed out from this and hit my back on a door frame, my back got quite bruised and just today my back has been hurting when I move my arms.
Get well soon
The first time I passed out, I tried to hold on to a wall until the feeling passed but I was too dizzy to see anything and I knocked and shattered over my mirror. I woke up kind of confused but pretended like nothing happened.
is there a part of the body that would cause this if it had some type of pressure against, like a tumor or a scare of tissue build up that would create pressure on something??? neck area? back of head? forehead ?temple?
simplified and easy to understand. tq sir!
Thank you for this useful video. Where can i talk to specialist to treat many years case of postural hypotension?
Are there any doctors in the Houston Texas area that could be seen for this diagnosis?
Did you find someone?
i got this right after covid.. already month and nothing changes.. will it ever get better on its own? :(
Nicely explained thank you ☺️
This only happened to me once back when I was 18 (29 now). I remember I was sitting on my bed at night doing my homework and I got up quick to put my paper at the standing lamp to see better. Next thing I know, everything was going dark and I realized I was falling over. Then I was fumbling the lamp before knocking it over and falling to the ground. I thought it was because of the bright light. Now I realize it’s because I got up quick.
I have bouts of this, always first thing in the morning. I get up and start moving around making my breakfast or whatever and just feel like I could pass out, and my heart rate seems elevated. Sometimes if I get up real fast I have chest pain, and once my heart rate went to like 120 bpm. I go and lay back down for a few moments and it goes away. But even minor movements do it, like if I'm asleep, and move from my side to my back, my heart rate increases by like 20 beats until my body settles again. A lot of time I think I'm dehydrated at night. I'm skinny too, 5'11 and 140 pounds. I know a lot of skinny people who say they experience the same thing.
Sounds like me bro. I'm 6'1 and skinny and have similar symptoms like you.
Same w me I have a pot in my head which was increasing until I started taking vitamin c n eating right it seems to be decreasing a bit but I get the feeling also at night when trying sleep it’s really uncomfortable but will b getting check sooner this month ! N I’m 5’9 weigh 134
I have this when I stand all day at work
Do you take blood pressure medication? and if yes which ones?
Mine doesn't do it when I stand up its after standing up for several minutes or walking. does anyone else have this that takes amlodipine?
I take amlodipine and ramipril and this had been happening to me a lot
Happened to me for the first time after getting the 2020 or 2021 flu shot when I was 14 or 15. I was in the doctor's office still, waiting for my mom to schedule the next appointment when I just felt really tired. I leaned against the wall and then my knees gave out and the brought me in to lay down on a bed.
Since then I've found out I'm anemic. It doesn't happen everytime I stand up and it's usually just 3-8 seconds of blindness but one time I fainted. I went blind, held my arms out like I normally do, reached for my door frame and then just fell. Maybe 5-20 seconds later I woke up thinking woah... That's not good.
I am also feeling the same and I thought we discuss as we are of the same age....... Can we??
I watched this video because I have been experiencing symptoms of orthostatic hypotension like when I stand up I can see at all because of a huge neon green color with some purple taking up all of my vision and I end up either nearly falling or I do fall and usually it’s not to bad but it really gets annoying recently because it has been happening just randomly now with out me even getting up. Thank you for this video I’m going to try to drink more water and get up slower and see what happens.
I workout everyday . I haven’t rested on a while . And today it’s been crazy but I do pee a lot and swear a lot. I am a healthy individual but this is scary and it’s been happening to me lately
Just now I got out of my chair and stretched. I fell to the floor with the back of my head first and bit my tongue which now is bleeding.
I thought clonidine reduce sympathetic outflow from CNS, even it can stimulate the local receptors to cause vasoconstriction. Eventually, which effect will win ?
One of its side effects is also orthostatic hypotension.
The spins. I get this from time to time. Only recently did I get scare, wound up in hospital for a few hours.
This has stayed happening recently and I’m noticing it’s getting worse. I used to just get a bit light headed and my vision blurred, but now my vision is almost completely gone and if there isn’t a wall or something to lean on I can’t even stay standing. This last for about 20seconds. I don’t know if I should go to the doctor about this or not.
Same bro😢😢
Rhis has happened to me since i was 14. 2 years after i started smoking. I quit 6 months and it didnt happen and now im smoking again and it happened. Im use to it and i sit immediately and either lay down or grab a wall. I dont fully pass out often but it has happened. Hope this helps any of you
it always happens to me even if i’m not laying down or seating idk what’s the prob with me
I’m only 14 and this has been going on since I was 12 and I don’t know why. I usually feel dizzy after waking up, sitting, but I’ve only fainted 3 times.
That young😪 feel sorry for you...
Hope it will get better now😉
I am 43 year old while I sit in squat position and stand immediately then I feel like fainting and dizzy. Is there any treatment for this note: I am a regular active person daily I am walking and running for 1 hour my bp remains normal 126/80 maximum
I have the exact same problem. How’re you feeling now?
@@RAD_PEPSI little bit not fully sometimes it is happening but that is rare. Twice in a week I will drink milk 🥛 with 1/2 tablespoons turmeric
Same. I hope we recover and get well as soon as possible 🤲🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻
Exactly same like you. It's happening only when standing from squatting position. Did u consult any doctor
when I get this from getting out of bed too fast, it lasts for a long time, and I legit feel like/ think I'm dying. I have to lay on the bathroom floor and hope I'm breathing 🥺
Same here Sarah, that's exactly what I end up doing too
This doesn't concern me since i found a technique of lying down in my knees wherever this happens to me, but later i found out that you have higher risk of dementia if you have this thing that scared the shit of me, since my grandma suffer dementia before she died.
Does anti gerd tablets cause this problem of dizziness and lightheaded
Very great lecture sir Thanksgiving
Why are clonidine and propranolol on the list?
I experience this now a days.. my constant sitting on computer lifestyle is the reason I am sure... just exercise you all.. this will go away...
I’ve been dealing with this ever since I was a kid, I’m 24 now and it’s becoming more frequent. I almost always blackout for a few seconds when it occurs and sometimes collapse to the floor if I don’t feel it coming. Has anybody found solutions to it? My doctor told nothing can be done….
Honestly I saw an allergist of all people today and he treats mast cell activation and he was amazing
They told me in 2017, but now i'm really sure. Absurd!
I had absolutely no idea about it "now" didn't know in 2017!
Until i get and read the document today, as a adult. Gosh
Prevention is better than cure!
Why is so little known about the treatment or is it simply not completely curable?
I don't believe anymore it will go away on its own.
@@azrael.jordan.osiris curious
I have orthostatic hypotension and tachycardia on standing heat intolerance and exercise intolerance what kind of problem i have
Same
I'm only 18 and i use to suffer from this ever since the pandemic started
This happened to me mostly when getting from lower position to higher one like standing up , my vision get black out my eyes open but few sec i will not see anything and a little lost of balance. It got me worried but now i get it
im 13 and i stand up or stretch and either feel dizzy or actually pass out. ive been to the doctor about it and they did some blood tests and nothing has happened and im pretty sure this is it
great visuals! thanks fir the vid!
Almost every time I stand up my vision goes completely black for a few seconds and I get super dizzy and sometimes to the point where my body collapses as if I’m fainting but I’m still conscious as I then get up again 5 seconds later and go about my day….but as well as that it sometimes happens if I’m in the shower for instance and briefly turn my head or when I’m walking and the sun is bright in my eyes……..
Excellent explaination 😍
My blood pressure is excellent lying down but elevated while sitting or standing
Does this cause shortness of breath?
I am 33 today i got diagnosed by same. I take midodrine and increase salt level. Will see if it improve. Can't get back to normal life
Same issue..
Does it help?
I’ve had these blacks after standing up for a while now, but today I actually passed out and fell, it was really confusing
Brlliant video.....
Many many thanks
clonidine is an alpha 2 agonist reducing the sympathetic tonus, that doesn't make sense, in fact clonidine can be responsible for orthstatic hypotension
@@physiopathopharmaco4190 which is why it can't be used to treat orthostatic hypotension, it can cause it, an alpha 2 agonist is inhibitory and thus slows down the orthostatic reflex making it more likely to not adapt as quickly as possible to the new cerebral perfusion requirements. I'm sorry but I'd really need some citations on Clonidine's use on orthostatic hypotension.
You're citing it as sympathomimetic in the vid, which is not true, something is wrong somewhere
I’ll take a look at the citation
Clonidine, an alpha-2 receptor agonist, is used to treat orthostatic hypotension in patients with severe autonomic dysfunction. Clonidine stimulates alpha-1 receptors in peripheral vascular smooth muscle, resulting in acute vasoconstriction and an increase in blood pressure
www.uspharmacist.com/article/an-overview-of-orthostatic-hypotension
@@physiopathopharmaco4190 Clonidine is both an alpha 2 AND alpha 1 agonist? oh WHOAW, even tho it's used as an antihypertensive, in higher doses or intravenous bolus doses it loses its selectively, especially in populations with essential orthstatic hypotension where they're more sensitive to its peripheral action. Very interesting, thank you!
@@physiopathopharmaco4190 may I ask you some questions
I have this along with other issues... currently on fludrocortisone to try and help it x
Alright, good to know it's fairly normal. Just stood up from a chair and lost consciousness for a minute, luckily I fell back on the chair.
If you're losing consciousness, then it's severe, which is not normal. I recommend talking to your doctor about it.
Nice and informative video. Like it
I have also made a small video, it will be motivating if you review. Thanks
Thanks for liking
I honestly thought everyone had this I thought it was normal
