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

Once you had the test, then what happened? Were you put on meds or did you just have to learn how to cope?

Your other doctor was right about the artery.This has happened to me my whole life and when I asked a doctor, he gave me the same diagnosis. Oxygen doesn't reach the brain, thus you feel light-headed and sometimes people pass out too. You shoud get a neck X-ray just to be sure.

Interesting. I have had this all my life, when I was twelve I was sitting at the kitchen table and stretched, passed out into a can of smoked oysters..... I had eeg's and other tests, the doctor said it was some form of "sleeping epilepsy". I was on phenobarbitol until I was 16 or so. I am now 47 and I can tell you it doesn't go away, it doesn't get worse, it just is. It happens most often when I'm stressed, or when I've not had enough sleep. It happens when I've been sitting for long periods. The weirdness of the feeling I get is almost unexplainable and I am very glad that I'm not the only person who experiences this. Interesting that so many young people experience it. Go see your doctors, and make sure you are maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I know that mine is from inactivity, and the Muscle, blood, oxygen thing that one guy talks about on page 7 or 8. That makes sense but it still bothers me that it happens. Best of luck to you all.

When I was young I had the same symptoms as many of you have identified. It was a pretty weird feeling as I became light headed, felt a tingling sensation move through my body and then I watched myself as I would slide myself to the floor feel the numbness and see my body start to contort, shortly after that I would watch my colors break down into black and white dots that soon turned grey and then to tunnel vision. I was wrongly diagnosed as having epilepsy also. It was a friend of my moms who requested they test my birth control and guess what; that is what is was. Once they switched the type of birth control the symptoms went way. May not be the same but I was surprised how many Doctors missed it. By the way the with draw from the Phenobarbital was not fun. 

This happens to me too! I'll start doing a big stretch and then the world goes black and I fall over... usually when I'm laying down then I slowly regain everything but it really concerns me. I try not to stretch because I black out and fall over and I don't remember much in between. Is there anything I could do to prevent this??

Same thing happens to me, its been happening for about a year and a half, sometimes i pass out, sometimes i just get dizzy and black out but sometimes. Usually after i feel very tingly. Sometimes it gets bad and i black out and start shaking and i cant control it...i guess having seizure, usually after it my head is pounding a ton. it usually happens once or twice a day, sometimes more than 5 times a day but its whenever i stretch. From what it sounds like from most people its lack of blood pressure. Im glad im not the only person experiencing this! Im debating on whether or not i want to tell my doctor.

oh and every single time I fall over and usually forget what had happened. Usually I have enough time to get on the floor so I don't hurt myself too bad but sometimes I don't have enough time and I get a seizure and stuff and bang my head against stuff. its takes a little while afterward to regain all my senses and stuff.

It's called Orthostatic Hypotension. Search for that term and you'll find the information you're looking for.

The same thing happens to me all the time, but I am able to control whether or not I am going to pass out. Hope this helps!

You guys are the best. I actually thought I was dying very slowly and my father and my doctor thought it was just my imagination but I knew I wasn't completely crazy. The funny bone feeling, throughout my whole body, the tech tonic sounds in everything I hear, the staggering dizzy not-being-able-to-make-heads-or-tails sensation like I'm being ripped from reality and the headaches don't even get me started. I have a really bad past with headaches, any way thanks for the comments guys :D

It certainly feels good to know that are many others with the same problem, now I feel it's something that is common. I have started having this since the last year, when I had lost my job and was over working on freelance to make both ends meet. I had lost my social life and was most of the time at home. 

The first time it happened, I had just got up from my work and stretched that's when everything became black in front of my eyes and I dropped down on the floor. It took me a minute to recover, but my legs were shaking, I took a little water and then laid down for a while and then I was perfectly normal.

The similar incident happened when I woke up from my sleep one day and while I was folding my blanket I collapsed, I hurt my back that day and since I shook my bedside table causing it to make a sound. I could hear the sound again and again, in my head.

Orthostatic Hypotension. Someone else mentioned it earlier. Your blood pressure in your brain drops when moving (or doing an intense stretch) and all the symptoms experienced are the result of hypoxia (lack of oxygen to the brain). Some things can be done about it, but it's quite benign as long as you know how to handle it (i.e. you know not to stand up fast, sit up fast, etc..... or if you do, you know to grab on to something and dip your head for a couple seconds or immediately go back to a lying position with nothing hard to bang your head on if you seize). Other than the dangers associated with falling down or seizing, it's quite benign. I've had it for years and years and got officially diagnosed with it a year ago. I would never have gone to the doctor's because I knew unofficially what it was and it never affected my normal every day life, and in fact it's quite enjoyable (it's like a free shot of dopamine), but I was ordered to get it diagnosed by my commander. Nothing much to worry about, enjoy it safely :)
