falling down and feeling dizzy when standing up
Wed, 04/17/2013 - 12:41i am a 16 year old male. I have fallen over twice recently, but only after standing up quite rapidly. I also regularly get head rush kind of things and go dizzy but ive only fallen over twice. I cant remember falling over but I was fine afterwards.
could somebody please shed some light on the issue?
could it possibly be something called postural hypotension or Orthostatic hypotension.
I have had blood tests and they all came back clear.

It could be anything! from pregnancy, to hypoglycemia, to hypotention to an atonic seizure to nothing. I though my son was hypoglicemic and come to found out he actually had a drop seizure.
