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

this is honestly to rediculous all humans probabaly do it it happens to me like at least once a day and i can do it on command i just strech and ive had it feel like a hallucenogenic trip like everytimei comeout of i feel like i had no idea of my location or time, i normally brace myself for a nice place to fall when i do it and i just did it in my kitchen a couple minutes ago and i leaned against my wall to prevent me from falling and i woke up on the floor a second later thats why i got on this and looked it up becausse something i do so consecutivley i would like to know if its gonna kill me. im 16

Im 37 yrs old and this just started happening to me. One day i stretched really long and good ..you know the kind of stretch that makes you yell real loud. I almost passed out I got really dizzy and tingley. I felt flutters too in my chest. It kinda scared me a bit. but after a few minutes i knew everything was ok.It hast to be the sudden stop of oxygen and blood flow that causes that. The only thing that kinda worried me is it never happend before. Wont do that again. Have to take it easy when stretching.

In 2009 I was in a car accident n I hit my head on the windshield and noting on exesy show nothing and didi netv test and ouch big time nothing wrong I yawn or stretch I get dizzy even washing hair I get dizzy and almost pass out n I get mind grains and it happens alm the time I have seen many dogs they don't believe me at all they brush me off what to do now I'm so tired of it and now get this half my hand gets tingling no mater where I put my arm hand it tinglels n at times my heart beats funny it will beat very slow then it has a spaz a tack then beats normaly what is wrong with me

I have been told that this reaction is related to a vasovagal reaction and it is realated to a sudden drop or increase in blood pressure

I've got these black outs, short faints, all my life. My parents both medical doctors told me that I got orthostatic hypotension. All other doctors the same as my parents. I didn't quite beleive them, because what I felt, I knew was more then orthostatic tension

But in time I begun fainting more and more...

Then I went for EEG several times, first times the EEGs went quite normal, but one time they manage to produce a crisis in me, by putting me to breath in many different way. So they provoked the faiting crisis, and I was fainting on their table. Then it showed - it was temporal lobe EPILEPSIA. Not the classic one, but the one that manifest in little many seizures, over time.

So the message I want to get here is try to do several EEG, and if you can stretch before and breath heavily, you will get the crisis during the EEG, and then the truth will get revealed. At least if it's Epilepsy, this would come out.

same thing happened to me just now!

You may have neurocardiogenic syncope. Get a tilt table test done.

I experienced for the first time yesterday at hooters. I ordered wings then was waiting for about 10 min till the wingy were done. So I was standing at the bottom tip of the slope by the entrance(handicap ramp).as i was looking down at my phone.i started to fell slight dizzy but as i felt that i was getting this do i got throw up feeling. So i started walking up the ramp to go outside as i was walking the dizzyness got so intense that i heard this wierd noise more like a movie being played then froze the sound was a deep wave ringing very loud and then i started to black out my legs were giving out i was slowly callapsping but was still trying with all my strenght to hold up. . Well i did manage to keep my self up even no body saw so i was freaked out cause its never happened to me before but the loud wierd noisewas freaky cause as it kept getting louder the more i started to black out.. any suggestions

wow! i never new this happened to so many ppl! I need to look into this more to understand what it is, but ty! (im 15)

yeah this happens to me as well, first time when i was 16 putting my shoes on, stood up and stretched and next thing i was picking myself up of the stairs. I used to deliver alot of paper rounds from 13-16 getting up at 3am every morning so i just put it down to exhaustion. Then it happened a year later at work, i got out the van, stretched everything and woke up on the floor, i always hit the floor hard. Work told me to go doctors for health and safety reason and he found nothing wrong with me everything checked out ok. Now i am 28 and still get them every now and then but i am used to it and can control it, if i concentrate on not blacking out i will just get a tingly sensation which actually feels quite nice. The as been a few times when i have forgot to concentrate and hit the floor, depending whats behind me it does hurt sometimes. I have noticed though it happens more when i am tired when the stretches feel better mainly in the morning. The thing i put it down to is having a slow heart rate, your heart cant pump blood to your muscles and your brain all at once, i took part in some research for the heart hospital and it involved taking a blood sample, i always remember the nurse saying how long its taking to fill the bottle with blood, i had to really tense my hand and arm to try and fill the bottle quicker. 

I am glad I looked this up. This happens to me a lot and it just happened to me a few minutes ago except it was worse than before. It lasted a lot longer I felt like I was shaking and I slammed into the wall and I was slowly falling downward. I couldn't see anything it looked like a Tv screen when it goes white and staticy excpet everything was black, my heart was beating fast and felt fluttery and I had a headche afterwards. And all I did was stretch. When it was finished I was a little scared an decided to look this up. Glad to know I am not the only one this happens too.

I have had the same problem since high school (or earlier) and have been to the doctor several times in vain. I never felt like it was a serious problem, but the more I read about it, the more I think there could be some possible long term issues.

Sometimes it happens because of stretching or standing up quickly, and other times it just happens for apparently no reason at all. I can usually feel it coming on in time to crouch down on the floor or ground, but not always. In my freshmen music appreciation class I fell forward knocking over a music stand and then was shaking for a while. A friend helped me out of the class. Another time I knocked on my friends door and then as he opened the door I promptly fell straight backwards crashing my head on the floor and shocking my friend. I have also had a couple zone outs while bike riding and driving. They are usually less serious(didn't pass out completely), but still have caused me to go off the road. I don't drive anymore because of it and I try to be extra careful bike riding.

This is what happens:
1. I get light-headed
2. My body tingles all over
3. I feel like I'm shaking. I can't really focus on the exact parts of my body that are shaking, but sometimes it seems like my right hand/arm is moving.(Once a friend said he saw me shaking. Most of the time my friends don't even know anything is going on until I tell them afterwards so I'm not sure if it's because I'm not shaking or because they aren't really paying attention.)
4. My hearing is very strange. I can still hear music or the tv, but I can't really focus on it.
5. I am not really aware of how much time passes. It feels like a longer time, maybe 5 minutes, but my friends will say just a few seconds, and the times when I had just pushed play for a song or was watching tv, I noticed that usually a minute was about the maximum time that could have passed.
6. Sometimes I pass out completely and sometimes I just feel the tingling for a few seconds and then it goes away.



Here are the possibilities that I've read about or have been suggested to me:
1. low blood volume
2. epilepsy
3. hypoglycemia
4. diabetes
5. Transient ischemic attack-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_ischemic_attack
6. circulation to the brain is cut off
7. unstable blood sugar
8. Limb shaking Syndrome (LSS)
9. alcohol, drugs, lack of sleep, stress(I don't feel any are an issue for me)

Any more ideas? Thanks for everyone that replied to this thread. I hope we can all get it figured out and treated quickly!

The same thing just happened to me, so I tried looking it up to see what it was. I remember now my doctor talking about low blood pressure and how that could be the cause. She said its all the blood flowing back into your legs and stuff.

What you are describing is called orthostatic hypotension.

Your brain (and thus consciousness) requires blood flow to get the oxygen it needs to work properly. It gets this from the blood pumped out of the heart, which the heart gets from your veins. Anything that reduces the amount of blood entering the heart will do two things: reduce the strength of the contraction of the heart and reduce the volume of blood pumped out of the heart. This results in an immediate drop in blood pressure that you notice as a light-headedness, and if it is bad enough, it will produce syncope (you pass out). It is normal for most people to experience this upon standing or deep stretching (and commonly when doing both) because both reduce the venous return to the heart, and thus blood pressure. You recover because your body senses the drop in blood pressure and engages a number of mechanisms to counteract the drop in pressure. However, it is normally for the brief period of light-headedness because your body isn't perfect and does take a moment to respond accordingly.

While this is normal and not indicative of some underlying problem, it could be suggestive of something deeper if you experience it more easily/often then most people. You should probably visit your doctor to have that determined. In the meantime, and for anyone else having this problem: If you are sitting for a long period of time and want to stand up and stretch, count to 10 after standing before you stretch. If you feel light-headed, drop into a squating position (you can turn this into a stretch while you're down there if you like) until it passes. The squating position will help raise your veinous return and will also make the fall much safer if you do experience syncope.
