Feeling dizzy do the point of blackness?

[Gem45]

I have no idea what's going on. For an year now I have been feeling really dizzy. Every time I sit down, the world starts spinning. I stand up and vision spins and my surroundings blur to darkness. I have to wait a few seconds before I can clearly see and then move. It even happens when I am walking, so I look like a drunk woman flailing around. I checked my blood pressure it's usually 90/60. I went to the doctor and she wasn't sure what was causing it, since there can be many.

My my diet is normal, so I am not sure why this happens.

you could be dehydrated. thats the only thing i can thing of off the top of my head. i used to get anxious, dizzy spells when i got really anxious/panicky, so that may be it too. there have been a few times where i was really dehydrated and everytime i got up my world was spinning for a few seconds. it was hard to balance. it was such a bad feeling! drinking a ton of water usually helps all of my problems for some reason haha
i hope you figure it out!! thats really awful

I do drink a lot of water, but it still occurs. Thank you though!

are you hypotensive (low blood pressure)
do you experience metal taste in the mouth...

get checked for neurally mediated syncope... (momentary lack of blood flow to the brain)

I do get metal taste sometimes, but thought it was normal for everyone? But I will, thanks!

i had the same problem for 2 years in high school. room spins, metalic taste, vision starts to go black sometimes your face may start tingling or your legs feel really heavy and you'll have to either sit down or grab on to something immediately or you'd loose your balance. I got it every time I stood up, and even more often if the temperature of the room/outside was high.. it was horrible... went to the ER in the hospital 5 times, numerous specialists, 6 different doctors... it was apparently neurally mediated syncope.. just move your legs (in a running motion) before standing, and get up slowly, you'll probably still feel dizzy but the loss of vision doesn't last as long. xo

it wasn't dehydration or lack of sugar for me and i had all symptoms you describe and more

oh and i just read your blood pressure is 90/60 which is similar to mine, so you are borderline hypotensive, (mine is between 75/45 - 90/60) which increases the likeliness of it being NMS as your blood pressure can drop when you stand up limiting the blow of blood to your brain..

lol i meant flow not blow

I had a similar problem. Recently (within the last year) i started blacking out for no apparent reason. Thought maybe it was low blood sugar or diabetes at first. But it turns out i have hypothyroidism.
Might be something to look into...
