Okay , so I am 19 years old and I have having this problems for a few years now . Every so often , I will stand up or start to walk and my eyes glaze over , I get super light headed , and my body starts to shake uncontrollably like I am having a seizure . I can't do much of anything while this is happening . All I can manage to do (if it just started) is slowly sit down and put my head between my legs until my head quits spinning . I haven't been to the doctor for it yet , because they always tell me there isn't anything wrong with me anyways . Im not sure what it could be and it really scares me . I eat healthy foods , and I drink a lot of water and fluids . I believe this could be something dangerous or it could be something simple . But diabetes and high blood pressure run on my dads side and seizures and blood pressure and a few heart troubles run on my mothers side . I really need someone to help me try to figure out what might be causing this or what it could possibly be , because I have a 2 year old daughter and i am a single mother and really don't need to have any of this happen while my child is with me . Thankfully , it hasn't happened while she was in my care . Hopefully I can solve the problem so it won't happen while my child is with me . I lose control when that happens and it scares me really bad !

If you have a doctor who doesn't take you seriously, you should go to another doctor.  It sounds like you could be having a seizure and you need to see a doctor.  Seizure disorders can  be genetic, and it sounds like you may have the symptoms of a petit mal seizure.  You will need medication to take care of your health condition. Diabetes could be another possibility. If you are a single mother and alone with your child, what will happen if you pass out altogether?  I hope you check into getting treatment for your problem so you and your child stay safe.
