So I've noticed how sometimes, all of a sudden I'll get really really drowsy..and at the same time as soon as I get up from sitting everything goes black for a few seconds and I see flashes of light. Lol this isn't something new but I'm just curious. one time this happened and I fainted at the doctor's office!! They said I just need to drink more water. But that was due to my blood pressure being too low, and I think it was a different kind of feeling, I was feeling dizzy then. Now as soon as I get up from a seated position my head feels hot and heavy for the first few seconds. Does anyone know what goes on when that happens? I'm sure it's something that at some point happens to everyone but I'm curious. It could be anemia, I know for sure I haven't been eating enough iron lately cuz first I was on a diet for 3-4 months recently which wasn't really great for my nutritional needs, and after this diet i feel like I have barely been eating meat and vegetables, all I've been eating has been junk food and salty food. I know I need to improve my diet and I'm working on it...But yea I was wondering if anyone had a proper explanation for why that could be happening?
