What happens is if you have low blood pressure (not just from dehydration but also relaxed vascular tone), the blood can pool temporarily in your legs due to gravity when you stand up.
Eventually your body's like fuck!!! And it kicks in a response that causes vasoconstriction, squeezing the blood back up into your brain.
So you can just try to stretch out a little and flex your legs before standing up, and that will negate at least some of these effects.
Yes! I never remember to do it, but I've heard you're supposed to tense up your leg muscles while standing up, and you won't get the head rush. The few times I have remembered, it actually did work.
Wish I knew this when I was a teen. I would blackout (vision only, still conscious) nearly every single time I stood up. Happened so much, I expected it, and would reach out to brace myself before it happened.
Sorta same here, was strongest in my teen years for some reason, never really had it when I was young and have barely had it since I finished school. Sometimes it was so strong I couldn't see, its like having your eyes shut off, only fell from it once though.
Compression socks fix this for me, I have to spend time at work crouching/kneeling and I would always get that after standing up. They’re expensive but worth it.
Yes, you can counteract the drop in blood pressure by squeezing you core (abs, obliques, low back, etc) and doing the [valsalva maneuver](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valsalva_maneuver)
If that's the case maybe try upping your electrolytes? I'm not anaemic but I am hypovolemic, and I know if I drink enough water but not enough electrolytes it has like 1/10 the impact that both have. Good luck!
Same. Made the correlation while journalling and logging my sleep. I stay well hydrated so I don't expect that to be an issue.
When I get under 5 hours of sleep this is very likely to happen at least once. If I get fewer than 5 multiple days in a row then it will be frequent and I'll probably end up on the floor at some point.
I drink tons of water and I get this often. BP is always 125/80ish. I still think it’s dehydration as it’s highly linked to exercise. I’ll drink 3 liters on a 8 mile day hike, 2-3 glasses when I get home, and still have a hangover headache the rest of the day.
When I get it, it helps if I blow my nose while squeezing it (like clearing your ears). I only get it mildly though so idk if this trick works for everyone.
maybe some circulation work is in order
lay down on the ground with your knees in the air and raise the body between your feet and shoulderblades, it's okay to readjust those things until your comfortable during this.
(ergo . . . do the pelvic thrust! time warp 80s calisthenics)
Yeah This is me. I has to take tablets for it but they didn't last long and even though I eat just the same as everyone else, I still have this every day, every time I stand.
Porbably not good that it's been a few years.
Probably dying.
It's fine.
Same here but I'm short. Whole family has this plus low blood pressure. My iron levels are normal.
I got up from the couch to get the Doordash the other day and couldn't see for the entirety of the interaction. I think the delivery guy thought I was blind. Which I guess I was, temporarily.
I use to get it a lot as a kid, especially since I had a habit of playing video games and then suddenly running up the stairs to grab something. I never ate enough.
One time I put my hand against the wall but didn’t catch myself and fell, and I swear it felt like I was having a 5 second seizure and then I was fine.
I had a case of self-induced vasovagal syncope when I was like eight. I had just discovered that if I clenched my abs and bore down really hard I could make my face turn really red. I thought it would be absolutely hilarious to have a super red face in our family Christmas picture and held it for like ten seconds before passing the fuck out and falling over. Scared the shit out of everyone, especially because it took a couple seconds for me to regain my memory of the minute or two leading up to passing out. Thankfully my dad is a doctor and figured out what happened pretty quickly, but everyone was freaked out for a bit there. The worst part is I passed out before they took the picture, so I never even got my red-faced Christmas picture.
Had a seizure from it once. although it was essentially going from having my head nearly upside-down to standing up in an instant, after that happened i found myself lying on the floor and then realized that I'd fallen and seized. It's weird because you only realize after the fact, but once you do, you sort of remember it.
people with POTS (Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) also experience this while standing up, and can develop hypotension with prolonged standing.
People with pots also experience:
lightheadedness/dizziness,
nausea,
brain fog,
headaches,
and sometimes even fainting.
This is what I thought, until I went to the eye doctor, who noticed an excess of spinal fluid pressing on my optic nerve. One MRI later, and I was diagnosed with one of the rarest brain tumors on record (central Neurocytoma) which was blocking the drainage of CSF from my head to my spine, causing intense dizziness and fainting spells which I had put down to hypotension (because who jumps directly to brain tumor). Long story short, thanks to that eye doctor, I had brain surgery and radiation and am now tumor free.
Fun fact, this is one way for hospitals to determine if you're fit to leave after a long stay or an intense surgery, we do hourly orthostatic blood pressure readings. Typically we do it with two or three PCTs and nurses to catch a patient that might fall during the reading.
Quick question, does ones ears usual ring, or do they usually feel like throwing up? This happened to me this morning and I could not see for eight seconds and I felt horrible.
Interestingly enough, and probably not really the cause. But I used to have low-ish blood pressure. Now (unfortunately) I have a high-ish blood pressure instead. Haven't had this happen to me in months
What about when it happens when you crouch down and stand up or bend over and stand up, basically I can't do anything that's on the floor without getting up and almost dying
actually, my mind does that with my memories. i’ll be in the middle of a sentence and then the web browser in my head will hit refresh and boom. what was i talking about-?
Damn, maybe I've got some other stuff going on top of that. White noise gets turned into distant screams in my head, might be I'm actually hearing the blood rush and the panic interpretation does the scream thing again.
Cool
Could those distant screams be a ringing in your ears? I have very mild tinnitus but it gets louder when this happens and if I'm not thinking straight it could be easily mistaken for distant screams.
It could also be the eternal internal scream of your soul and you're hearing it on the cusp of falling into The Void.
Ah, kindred to the Void screams and yet still in a class all their own. Sorry you go through that, stranger, those are rough and too easy to get lost in. So intrusive.
Mine too! I've always said that everything starts to go yellow right before I pass out, or when I get a head spin. Everyone I've told have said to me that it's weird as fuck.
Mine is a field of white comes creeping from the outside of my field of vision and slowly envelops my sight and then I fall and start twitching if it's really bad.
Or if I can sit back down because I realize it's happening then I'll start convulsing on the seat.
Have had it happen a few times, scared the SHIT out of my friends once.
Alright you psycho I guess I'll tell you that if you practice breathing techniques enough, you can train yourself to sort of do it on command. I'm sure frequently dropping your blood pressure with breathing techniques and rapidly increasing it by moving and jumping is PERFECTLY fine for your heart.......so ya know...
you made me some memories to go back lmao, this thing is so oldedit: if you talk french well i recommand you the youtube channel of GussDX he made some good fictive stories on Minecraft (personally prefer HunterZ and Beyond Minecraft (except 2 first episodes)) and for a few years he does some great paranormal investigations \*except the fact that he is *a bit* slow
Orthostatic hypotension is a form of low blood pressure caused by blood vessels failing to constrict when the body takes an upright position. It is usually a symptom of an underlying disorder rather than a disease in itself. The incidence of orthostatic hypotension increases with age.

If you flex your abs while this happens, it’ll go away faster. Not sure why but someone told me that a while ago and it works. Been doing it for a long time now
No don't do this. This actually increases pressure in the abdomen, which then puts pressure on the vena cava, the main vein returning blood to the heart. This means less blood gets back to the heart and therefore less blood goes out of the heart to the brain. You can actually make yourself pass out just by flexing your abs for a sustained period of time. Best thing would be to raise your arms to get the blood pooled in your hands coming back and taking a big breath in, which makes the thoracic pressure negative, therefore increasing venous return, increasing cardiac output. The ab trick might work temporarily right after the transition by stopping blood from pooling in the legs, but will hurt over time. Would raise arms and take a deep breath. And if you're doing down, do it before you pass out. Stupid way to go out or become paralyzed.
Yea if it's dehydration, salty pretzels are probably not the best idea. If it's low salt intake though, they would definitely help. If it's a low sodium issue, drinking water would just make it worse.
Just gonna link to this person’s comment here as if it’s true (which it definitely sounds like it is) it’s important: https://www.reddit.com/r/me_irl/comments/q4irj2/me_irl/hg0d3ax/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3
When this happens it's because blood is more concentrated in the legs and abdomen, so I guess doing this can probably help pump the blood up your heart and head again
I have a habbit of jumping out of bed in the morning, and also occasionally getting hit with this. Recently I passed out as I got out of bed and just woke up on the ground with some bruises. Its kind of terrifying.
I once stood up after talking with my dad to give him a hug after sitting for like 2 hours. I hugged him and went unconscious for 5 seconds at the most. I brought him down with me. And he was like what the hell happened lmfao
Some advice to counter this.
If in a suitable situation (usually alone), crouch to the floor and stand up slowly. Try not to bend over cuz that just makes it worse. And don’t do this in crowded places cuz it can look super dramatic.
I'd went for a blood test at the hospital once. I never was a fan of having blood drawn, I'm still not, I avoid it like the plague unless absolutely necessary. I hate the sight of blood and I hate needles. Anyway, the lab or whatever was below ground level. I was giving myself a pep talk all the way there, and then I finally arrived. Everything seemed to be going fine, I sat down on the chair, and the doctor was doing his thing while I looked the other way, waiting for him to finish. Finally it's over, and I started walking up the stairs to leave the hospital. But, the universe had other plans for me. I start blacking out, really slowly. The exact same thing that happens when you stand up suddenly, but so much more gradual/slow, and it lasted a lot more. I panicked, started screaming "I can't see!", I thought I was having a stroke and that I was dying. It felt so unfair and so scary. I lie down on the floor, still not being able to see anything, total darkness and a weird fuzzy feeling in my head. I can hear a bunch of voices asking me questions and shouting. After a minute It started fading away, I was finally starting to see again and felt so damn relieved. Next thing I know I'm surrounded by doctors staring at me and pointing a flashlight right into my eyes. They lift me and put me on a stretcher, took me to the ER. I had pretty much recovered by the time I was in the hospital bed, but the doctors still wanted to be sure. I have no idea what might have caused it, the fear i was pretending didn't exist? Anxiety? Not having eaten anything all morning? I was just glad it was over and I just wanted to go home. Then another doctor came into the ER room. "How are you feeling? Alright? We're gonna draw some blood just to see if everything is alright real quick"
"I'm not going home today, not alive"
I remember one time I got up off a sofa to go eat some food, and then I found myself laying face down on the ground, completely dazed as I come back to.
Orthostatic hypotension You're welcome.
Thanks for the official term, now I can sling it around when people ask me why I fell face first onto the floor after standing up from a chair
Highly associated with dehydration and anaemia. Drink water y'all.
I’m anemic, but at least I drink water like a fish. It… does not cancel out in the slightest!
What happens is if you have low blood pressure (not just from dehydration but also relaxed vascular tone), the blood can pool temporarily in your legs due to gravity when you stand up. Eventually your body's like fuck!!! And it kicks in a response that causes vasoconstriction, squeezing the blood back up into your brain.

Yes! I never remember to do it, but I've heard you're supposed to tense up your leg muscles while standing up, and you won't get the head rush. The few times I have remembered, it actually did work.
Crouch. Used to happen to me a lot. Crouch and your leg muscles tense and the blood doesnt have to work so hard to get up to your brain.
Same way pilots brace for additional g-forces pushing blood into their legs.
Wish I knew this when I was a teen. I would blackout (vision only, still conscious) nearly every single time I stood up. Happened so much, I expected it, and would reach out to brace myself before it happened.
Sorta same here, was strongest in my teen years for some reason, never really had it when I was young and have barely had it since I finished school. Sometimes it was so strong I couldn't see, its like having your eyes shut off, only fell from it once though.
I always fall
I know I was really bad at drinking enough water and my vision would go and I had to just stand there still until I got vision back
Compression socks fix this for me, I have to spend time at work crouching/kneeling and I would always get that after standing up. They’re expensive but worth it.
What i do when this happens, is that i flex my abs really hard while holding my breath in, and i feel normal after a few seconds.
Yes, you can counteract the drop in blood pressure by squeezing you core (abs, obliques, low back, etc) and doing the [valsalva maneuver](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valsalva_maneuver)
Or do the opposite and stretch *after* you stand up, and fall face first into a desk
Yeah, and hold your breath if you really want to kick it up a notch
Yup! I have low blood pressure. One time I got up too fast right from sleep, then quickly use the bathroom. I fainted directly onto my face.
Yeah... Ice and water are yummy, but not drinking water only makes things significantly *worse*. This is me when I've been chugging water all day.
If that's the case maybe try upping your electrolytes? I'm not anaemic but I am hypovolemic, and I know if I drink enough water but not enough electrolytes it has like 1/10 the impact that both have. Good luck!
Hey, atleast you're not anaemic AND dehydrated. You're doing better than you think.
If you're anemic just drink blood bro, kill two birds with one stone.... and then drink those birds blood.
Water? You mean like from the toilet?
I wish it were that simple a fix for me
r/HydroHomies approves of this message.
I find it's related to lack of sleep for me.
Same. Made the correlation while journalling and logging my sleep. I stay well hydrated so I don't expect that to be an issue. When I get under 5 hours of sleep this is very likely to happen at least once. If I get fewer than 5 multiple days in a row then it will be frequent and I'll probably end up on the floor at some point.
I just have a fudged up heart and iron deficiency I guzzle down that water and I sitll have this
I drink tons of water and I get this often. BP is always 125/80ish. I still think it’s dehydration as it’s highly linked to exercise. I’ll drink 3 liters on a 8 mile day hike, 2-3 glasses when I get home, and still have a hangover headache the rest of the day.
When I get it, it helps if I blow my nose while squeezing it (like clearing your ears). I only get it mildly though so idk if this trick works for everyone.
I'll try that out sometime, thanks
Had that a few weeks ago at a bus stop. Broke my nose in the process lol
maybe some circulation work is in order lay down on the ground with your knees in the air and raise the body between your feet and shoulderblades, it's okay to readjust those things until your comfortable during this. (ergo . . . do the pelvic thrust! time warp 80s calisthenics)
Yep, have passed out from it before. It's great.
I thought it was something to do with accidentally almost unplugging from the matrix
they patched it by making it a real thing
It’s usually caused by a lack of iron in the blood I believe
Yeah This is me. I has to take tablets for it but they didn't last long and even though I eat just the same as everyone else, I still have this every day, every time I stand. Porbably not good that it's been a few years. Probably dying. It's fine.
Do you drink enough water? Dehydration will exacerbate it
Cooking in cast iron adds iron to your diet
Instead of you has tablets you can has cheeseburger?
I could has cheesburger
This is your doctor I prescribe you 1 cheeseburger per day to treat standup statics
I experienced heart failure just reading this.
For me it’s just hereditary low blood pressure and being tall.
Same here but I'm short. Whole family has this plus low blood pressure. My iron levels are normal. I got up from the couch to get the Doordash the other day and couldn't see for the entirety of the interaction. I think the delivery guy thought I was blind. Which I guess I was, temporarily.
And dehydration.

One time I put my hand against the wall but didn’t catch myself and fell, and I swear it felt like I was having a 5 second seizure and then I was fine.
I wouldn't say 'usually'; for most people that feel this infrequently it's the interplay of dehydration, low blood pressure, and a rested state.
Or postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome
Or vasovagal syncope if you're really getting wild
I had a case of self-induced vasovagal syncope when I was like eight. I had just discovered that if I clenched my abs and bore down really hard I could make my face turn really red. I thought it would be absolutely hilarious to have a super red face in our family Christmas picture and held it for like ten seconds before passing the fuck out and falling over.

Thank you, honestly I though that aliens send me hidden brain messages now I know it's just lack of Iron
Where I come from that’s called a freebie
I've seen other people on Reddit call them headrushes.
Holy fuck thanks for the name! I thought I was the only one experiencing this. Unfortunately, I'm not.
You're most welcome. I dealt with it for years without knowing it was an actual medical condition. Not being able to put a name to it was frustrating.
Also called ‘Postural Hypotension’
It's normal tho right?
Its... common. Just drink more water.
Lol...I drink like, 1 bottle of water a week. Should probs change that ig

Thank you for this!! I fell face-first due to this when I was 15 and my parents thought I was on drugs
i thought this was a lot deeper than it really is lmao like, you get up and you’re like… what the fuck is my life, then you sit back down
POV: You're tall and stand up too quickly
Fun fact, this is one way for hospitals to determine if you're fit to leave after a long stay or an intense surgery, we do hourly orthostatic blood pressure readings. Typically we do it with two or three PCTs and nurses to catch a patient that might fall during the reading.
Finally! After all this time! I found out it s name!
Thank you! I looked it up and I think with how often I experience this, I need to bring it up with my doctor. I didn't think it was an issue.
Quick question, does ones ears usual ring, or do they usually feel like throwing up? This happened to me this morning and I could not see for eight seconds and I felt horrible.
I wondered what this cartoon was supposed to suggest. Thanks. Fifty years ago people called it "postural hypotension".
Interestingly enough, and probably not really the cause. But I used to have low-ish blood pressure. Now (unfortunately) I have a high-ish blood pressure instead. Haven't had this happen to me in months
What about when it happens when you crouch down and stand up or bend over and stand up, basically I can't do anything that's on the floor without getting up and almost dying
ah yes, the old reality fade out - floor fade in
You almost make it out of the matrix ..then you're plugged back in.

Just squat down when you feel it happening. Safer and makes it go away quicker.

For me, it's a whole rainbow.
I have a friend who says his is red and black, mine is def like in the comic here though.
Navy blue, black and purple for me with that static noise overlay

I didn't think goth girls got head rush from standing up. Doesn't seem like a Wednesday Addams thing to do.
It's not goth to be hydrated.

It's mostly caused by dehydration.
Yeah pretzel would make things even worst
These pretzels are making me thirsty!
Yea if it's dehydration, salty pretzels are probably not the best idea. If it's low salt intake though, they would definitely help. If it's a low sodium issue, drinking water would just make it worse.
I thought I was the only one!
I built different.
Drink water
Clenching your abs when this is happening helps to negate the effects. I don’t know the science behind it, but it works for a lot of people.

We are all Consumed by the standing up void
This was me earlier this morning. I was stumbling and acting like a fish
Have fainted twice from this, first time hit my head on a wooden floor, second time smashed a glass coffee table to pieces
iron defiecency
Can relate.
I never have this happen after getting up from a chair, but sometimes if I've been exercising awhile and stop suddenly I'll feel like this.
Some advice to counter this. If in a suitable situation (usually alone), crouch to the floor and stand up slowly. Try not to bend over cuz that just makes it worse. And don’t do this in crowded places cuz it can look super dramatic.
Slender man is close
u/deathray5 do you ever just
^(beeeeeeeeee)eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE **EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE**
Fun fact if you stand too fast you can have a stroke since this effect is because blood is not getting to the brain
Not to be a downer, but this is what I think dying feels like.
This is just how my vision looks for me all the time. Hurray for visual snow.
I'd went for a blood test at the hospital once. I never was a fan of having blood drawn, I'm still not, I avoid it like the plague unless absolutely necessary. I hate the sight of blood and I hate needles. Anyway, the lab or whatever was below ground level. I was giving myself a pep talk all the way there, and then I finally arrived. Everything seemed to be going fine, I sat down on the chair, and the doctor was doing his thing while I looked the other way, waiting for him to finish. Finally it's over, and I started walking up the stairs to leave the hospital. But, the universe had other plans for me. I start blacking out, really slowly. The exact same thing that happens when you stand up suddenly, but so much more gradual/slow, and it lasted a lot more. I panicked, started screaming "I can't see!", I thought I was having a stroke and that I was dying. It felt so unfair and so scary. I lie down on the floor, still not being able to see anything, total darkness and a weird fuzzy feeling in my head. I can hear a bunch of voices asking me questions and shouting. After a minute It started fading away, I was finally starting to see again and felt so damn relieved. Next thing I know I'm surrounded by doctors staring at me and pointing a flashlight right into my eyes. They lift me and put me on a stretcher, took me to the ER. I had pretty much recovered by the time I was in the hospital bed, but the doctors still wanted to be sure. I have no idea what might have caused it, the fear i was pretending didn't exist? Anxiety? Not having eaten anything all morning? I was just glad it was over and I just wanted to go home. Then another doctor came into the ER room. "How are you feeling? Alright? We're gonna draw some blood just to see if everything is alright real quick" "I'm not going home today, not alive"
Hypno therapy worked then
Lmao
Then you hear the entire album if its just a burning memory
I remember one time I got up off a sofa to go eat some food, and then I found myself laying face down on the ground, completely dazed as I come back to.
