Dizzyness and rarely passing out when yawning,stretching and standing up

I have had this hasppening to me every time I stretch. Have you ever heard of the choking game? Well if not search it up, it's shows the same affects we asre having so I'm thinking the same thing is happening here

My mom told me it was a symptom of High blood pressure

Yes, I have had the same thing happen to me as well all of my life. It feels so good right before I get all woozy and ready to fall on the ground. I usually have to have a chair or bed around. Sometimes I fall asleep if there is a bed around. I have a poor diet. So I don't know if that's the cause, but I would really like to know. It just happened and my head hurt so bad. It was never like that. My heart usually beats fast and I don't want to move. Just lay there for a bit. I do feel like I want to just passout. I attributed this to lack of blood reaching the muscles or moving too fast. good to know i'm not alone. I'm going to ask my doctor next time i see her.

While most of my experiences with these weird syndromes usually result in a simple damn good stretch( usually is accompanied with a four letter word) it is a little scary that I get these symptoms in the first place, either I go completely numb and slump over limp, or my head slightly (very slightly) hurts for a brief moment; OR my vision tunnels ( Black splotches or creamy pale blackness surrounds my vision). this usually hits all at once, along with the since of euphoria, but i think it's because I'm Holding my breath, and applying pressure in a short sudden burst. Whatever it is hope ya'll have no heart problems, nor any brain issues, and if this is what you are also experiencing let us talk about this more over some MvM in Tf2 :D, add me on steam JAKMACK :D.

the same thing happens to me except when i stretch i kinda fall over or lay down on the floor in the process but then i black out and forget what i was doing before and get all tingly

I realize this is a few years too late but I had the same problems and spent 4 years moaning at the docs for answers had effect blood pressure taken even a 24 hour heart monitor all came back clean so was put in for a tilt table test I was diagnosed with a condition called PoTS (Postural Orthostatci Tachycardia Syndrome) this seems to match all the symptoms your suffering from I would recommend asking for a tilt test the disorder itself is pretty much unknown by the medical profession and is therefore very misdiagnosed. Hope this helps if you haven't got any answers yet or for people who suffer from it and have stumbled onto this post :)

Anyone else suffering from the same sorta thing or been diagnosed with PoTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome)

Sounds like postural hypotension :)

Aka orthostatic intolerance

Oh, just what i was looking for.I dint know anyone else with the same problem but now i can see a lot of people with the similar problem.

I regularly have this problem and once i even fell which resulted in mild bleeding from my head.

After googling i think i think this is the problem-Orthostatic hypotension. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthostatic_hypotension#Signs_and_symptoms..this the link , i am sure this what most of you are looking for. Hope this helped.

Take care.

 

 

Yeah dude the same thing happens to me. Except I usually only have to sit for like 5 minuets and everything gets black and fuzzy and I pass out. The weird thing to me when I pass out is Ill usually back up to a wall and Ill fall but I can hear myself hitting the wall but I cant see anything. Like one time my parents were back from work and they knocked on the door and I was playing my xbox and I jumped up to answer it and I could feel it comming to I shut the door and put my back to it so I would fall and I passed out and when I came to I looked up and they both were starring at me.

Guy this is totally normal.  It's not a syndrome, it's experienced by everyone.  I'm not a doctor and I don't know the exact science, but it was explained to me once by a doc so I'll see if I can't recall the answer for you:

 

When you feel the need to stretch, it's because the blood in your muscles has begun to pool, which is why we stretch more often when we're sitting at work, waking up, standing from sitting, etc.  Anytime you've allowed yourself to stay dormant for a long enough period of time, a stretch will inevitably follow.  Your body feels the need to expel the blood in your muscles back into circulation, which is why sometimes when you begin to stretch it feels too good to stop.  What happens here is that when you apply tensile pressure to the muscles and "flex" them during the stretch, all of the blood that had pooled in them is reintroduced into circulation, often depleted of oxygen.  That's why it feels good - you're replacing old blood with new blood.  Imagine if you can a sponge submerged in dirty water, and soaking it all up.  If you then place that dirty sponge into a tub of clean water, you'll see the dirty water mix in very gradually.  Squeezing the sponge and expelling the dirty water is the most effective and generally best way to then have the sponge absorb new, clean water.  Rinse and repeat people.  Same thing with your muscles.  They need to be used and used frequently.

When your heart flutters and you begin to feel dizzy it's because the blood that is being pumped into your brain is substantially less oxygenated than it was a moment ago, not to mention the fact that your "squeezed out muscles" will also suck up some more blood at the end of the stretch like the sponge in the tub would suck up the new water.  Your brain cannot adjust fast enough and you have a little fuzzy-ness; in very extreme cases you pass out.  The key to preventing this is to breathe slowly and deeply for a quick minute right before you stretch, allowing extra oxygen to circulate into your bloodstream and subsequently to your brain, that way when you stretch you won't be so oxygen deficient.

 

Hope this helps.

same here but i had a bowl in my hand and i remember streching and then i fell and remember waking up to my mom running in and my sister behind me i was really scared

I looked this up after almost passing out after stretching. My vision was like a black tunnel and everything sounded distant. I sat back down and waited for a minuite before getting up again. This has been happening for a few months. Glad I'm not the only one this happens to! (i'm 16)

Its possible you could have a form of syncope. I know because I have had this same issue. I'm 16 and very active as well. Ask your doctor to order a tilt table test, although you may have to go to a cardiologist to receive it. If you fail, you have syncope.
