Hi sometimes i feel lightheaded when i get out of bed, or get up from a chair. Everything is blurry and pixelated and theres this feeling in your body like you dont have any mass. Its like a temperary headache. After like 5 seconds though it goes away.
At first, i thought this was nothing but then 2 days ago i was in the bathroom and i had the feeling. It was worse and i accually fainted for like 3 seconds. I got back up but was really lightheaded and i blacked out again. when i got back up i was still really dizzy i walked to my bed and flopped down. my heart was pounding very fast, my head was very dizzy and i had this high pitched noise in my ear. I took a 5 minute nap and when i got up i felt fine.
I dont have migranes, panic attacks, etc. I dont do any drugs and im pretty healthy physically mentally, and socially. Whats wrong with me? should i seek help?

I would see a doctor over it, I get similar symptoms when my blood sugar is too low and you don't need to have diabetes to have blood sugar issues.

I hope that all goes well.

Sounds like you could have postural hypotension, which is when your blood pressure drops suddenly when you move from lying to getting up or standing up. It can be a meds side effect, or an underlying physical condition.

Best go to a Dr. and get it checked out.
