Severe headache, dizziness and passing out if laying on stomach with head raised

I'm 15, and have this issue too. It's scaring me. Recently my doctors tested me for rheumetoid arthritis. all came back negative. now that my parents know it isn't that, they think I'm faking. This recently began happening too and i  pass out, and can't remember a lot of things!

I am a 16 year old female 5' 2" 110lbs and I have had this problem all my life. I never thought it was anything out of the ordinary though.

I'm almost 13 years old and have this problem. While I lay on my stomach and look up My head has pressure in it and my ears Also have pressure but it's like crashing of A wave and it's in time with the pulsating. I do get these lights also. Can someone just please tell me what the hell is going on as I have had a lot of health problems such as: • staph •athmsa • Colducartia •eczema •dermatitis • nut allergies •egg allergies (not allergic anymore) •soy allergy (not allergic anymore) •Fish (we're not sure if I'm still Allergic to fish so I try and avoid it as I was allowed to eat white fish but didn't like that so now I avoid all fish. •scarlet fever (a deadly virus that someone brang with them overseas and obversely have to me. I have a scar on my left leg and It goes all the way up which shows the vain that's was harmed. The doctors said it was fine but really they usually are wrong. So for all I know I could be dying right now today. So if I have these and now if i have another health issue I need to know so I can manage that one and live my life to the fullest. I'm only 12 turning 13 on Nov 2015 (this year) and I'm not ready to die. I've just started highschool and i wanna grow up and love my life while I can before I die. So please. TELL ME WHATS HAPPENING WITH THIS HEAD THING IVE BEEN HAVING! PLEASE TELL ME!

Ok not sure if this forum is still active by any users. Try a neurologist. I have the same symptoms while laying ony belly. Since I was a teenager. I am now 22. And 8 months ago I was diagnosed with Pseudo tumor cerebri. It is possible it's connected I've never talked with my doctor about it but I will be doing so!

Have u been to Dr for this yet?

Could it be an Aneurysm?

Wow, it's relieving to see so many people with this too. I'm a 26 year old male and I've been feeling that dizzy, headrush, pressure, muffled hearing, weird feeling for two years now when I lay on my stomach and lift my head.

I'm not sure on causes or what it is, but I'd like to know if anyone else sleeps on their stomach and thinks that could be related, cause I'm fine when I'm laying down, it's just the minute I raise my head too high to read or see something. So weird.

I am 34. Female. Same exact issue here. What is it?!

For years, since I can remember, I have had a problem laying on my tummy, and just the other day I decided it wasn't normal, and I always thought it was something to do with too much pressure, but after looking at this thread, I went on to the POTS website, and every single symptom listed on there, I have had, I am constantly going to the doctors asking them to help me, because I am so sick of feeling sick, I have left so many jobs because of the dizziness, headaches. nausea etc. now I can give my own opinion to my doctor, and find out if this has been the problem all along... Thank you everyone for making me realise I am not the only one with all of these symptoms :)

Ok so I have the same feeling in my head to when I lay on my front to read my phone I feel like all the blood has rushed to my head my lips tingle and so does my face .... It's so weird ... I have not been diagnosed with anything although he past weeks or so I have had pain in my lower back - top of bum .... And tingling sensations all down my legs in fact I have that no just sitting here .... It gets to the point where my bum cheeks are completely numb ... As above my doctor is useless I would physically have to be dead before he would even do anything about it ... I will be making an appointment just to try so I shall keep you all updated

Thank you for this, I have the same issue and thought I was crazy or just too fat Lol. Glad there's a name for it!

i am 23years old and it's been happening to me since i was 17years old. i do t get pain in my stomach at all. but when i lay on my stomach and lift my head up i get this really bad headache and hear some type of whooshing in my ears.. i always felt like i was going crazy.. i tried explaining it to my family and bf but they looked at me like i was nuts. glad to know now that i am not alone. although i would love to know WHY this happens too!

No, I have ALL these symptoms and worse and I had my wisdom teeth removed at 19. These symptoms started for me in my late 40's and have worsened in the last 10 years. I am 61 now.

I have the same problem and I'm 14 I keep asking my mom what it is and she said your crazy and she keeps saying u need glasses then and I say how do I need glasses when I'm laying down and I think I know what it is do you know when you cross your legs like Chris-cross-Apple-sauce by sitting to long is by putting pressure on ur legs they go to sleep right well when u lay on ur stomach it's putting pressure on ur neck watch is making it hurt in your eyes and making it ache in your head and your arm hurts to right? Well it's because u need more strength in ur body so I would problably work out and eat healthier and just relaxxxx
