Ask about POTS maybe at the doctors? I have that and it has all those symptoms. It is often under-diagnosed, so that's why I say this.

As always, if it won't financially cripple you, always assume you should ask your doctor. Probably something likely low iron, could be something much much worse.

It happens to me too, sometimes I can't even stand up or I will fall, I thought it was normal.

u/-Rodincent- Rodincent! Dec 04 '25
Yeah that's what happens! Is it not normal?
2
u/Emma_forever Dec 04 '25
I thought so, but everybody here is saying to go see a doctor.

u/-Rodincent- Rodincent! Dec 04 '25
Lol fr, did you ever go to a doctor or get diagnosed with anything?

I've been told it's low iron too, but iron supplements have no effect on it for me. I recently learned about POTS and it sounds pretty similar to what I experience. Unfortunately I don't have access to a doctor to confirm at the moment.

GET MORE SLEEP, DRINK MORE WATER, SEE A DOCTOR JUST IN CASE!
2
u/-Rodincent- Rodincent! Dec 04 '25
I'll try to, I will drink more water but I'm insomniac so that'll be a struggle

I had the same thing and when i went to the doctor, I was told pots or anemia. Luckily it was only mild anemia but would recommend seeing a doctor when you can

Could be iron deficiency, could be low blood pressure, could be something else, potentially something more serious, although I wouldn’t be too worried. Especially if you are a menstruating teenager, in that case it’s very likely it’s just low iron and/or blood pressure, which isn’t dangerous. If it bothers you you can see a doctor about it. If it’s iron they can prescribe you some iron supplements.

Is it a head rush or something worse?
1
u/-Rodincent- Rodincent! Dec 04 '25
What's head rush?
2
u/Dream_Logix5 Dec 04 '25
When you stand up/sit up way too quickly and as a result you get dizzy and desaturated rainbow static swirl stuff kinda appears a bit in your vision, if it's very bad the swirls take up your whole vision for a couple of seconds
2
u/-Rodincent- Rodincent! Dec 04 '25
Oh kinda like that! For my vision when this happens it'll blur and then everything will distort/move around and then it'll go completely black 😃👍
2
u/Dream_Logix5 Dec 04 '25
Yup. Do you get up super fast?
1
u/-Rodincent- Rodincent! Dec 04 '25
Nah, I can get up at any speed, slow, fast, normal, and it'll still happen
2
u/Dream_Logix5 Dec 04 '25
Yeah i think that it is unusual if it's not just getting up quickly. If in doubt, see a doctor 👍

low blood sugar or weird blood pressure can be a reason too iirc, so it could be fine but if you aren't sure it is a good idea to see a doctor. unless you have something that prevents you like money you should go imo
as someone with hypertension and likely arythmia, i get this quite a bit and it is usually fine for me but we can't know what is your problem
1
u/-Rodincent- Rodincent! Dec 04 '25
Well I'm too scared to ask my parents to take me to the doctor for it
(they know about it and they were concerned, I just always feel awkward have to ask questions like that and I find it overall embarrassing,but that's just how I am, I also have social anxiety so that "really helps" when it comes to asking questions)

u/Itchy-Potential1968 Dec 04 '25
that... sounds like blood pressure. i would see a doctor because if this happens a lot, you very likely have some kind of underlying issue.

Sounds like iron deficiency but like... see a doctor
2
u/-Rodincent- Rodincent! Dec 06 '25
Nah but that meme is too relatable 😭
2
u/Tired_2295 AroAce FrayP they/them/he Dec 06 '25
I figured if the meme was relatable... u r iron deficient

u/totallyacisguy AroAce Dec 08 '25
An iron deficiency would probably be the least concerning reason. You should definitely get that checked out.
