      Anyone experience these every so often?

      Just this past Sat i was on the couch napping. Got up fairly quickly, walked into the kitchen (25 ft away), picked up my Ipad and that was the last i remembered. Woke up to my son looking down at me yelling for my wife in a pool of blood. Not knowing where i was, i got on all fours and could not get up any further. the blood was dripping from my forehead, down my face and to the floor. My wife helps to the chair and says we;re going to hospital. Still not really comprehending any of this, i got up and followed her to the car. In the hospital from Sat afternoon till Sun relaeased at 3pm. Suffered a concussion, 6 vertical stitches from the top of my forehead into my hairline, bruised nose and swollen temple. docs ran several EKG's, took blood 4 different times, chest Xrays and do not know what caused this.

      Very freaky experience!

      Dang that sucks bro. Sometimes it hits you and you dont have time to react, you wake up on the floor with busted face. If someone ever starts to feel dizzy, best advice is to get down on a knee, as close to the floor as possible

      Drop in blood sugar can cause this for sure. A few weeks ago I experienced some issues but my BP was up and Blood Sugar Dropped. I sounded drunk until I got some food in me. All better now. Take it easy

      I'm on board with everyone else...low blood sugar possibly, but I've never went out like that...usually just dizzy until I eat a lil bit. Don't let it go though bro, have a second Dr. run more tests. Fallin out like that is not good

      Dizzy spells
      Some good info

      Dizziness when getting up from lying down is called postural or orthostatic hypotension. It can occur when the brain receives incorrect information about the body's position in relation to its surroundings and movements. While dizziness is usually not serious, talk to a health care provider if you experience dizziness often. It could signal an underlying health condition.Types

      Types of dizziness include vertigo, dysequilibrium, light-headedness and mixed dizziness, according to the Merck Manual of Health and Aging. Vertigo is the false sense of motion or spinning. Dysequilibrium is a sense of unsteadiness or loss of balance that involves the legs or trunk. Light-headedness is a feeling that fainting may occur soon. This type of dizziness usually occurs when a person gets up quickly after sitting or lying down for awhile. Mixed dizziness is a type of dizziness that does not fit in the other categories.

      Mechanism

      A dramatic fall in systolic blood pressure can cause you to feel dizzy after standing up too quickly, according to MayoClinic.com. Normally, gravity causes blood to collect in your legs when standing. To ensure enough blood returns to the brain, your body increases your heart rate and constricts blood vessels. In people with postural hypotension, this mechanism fails.
      Causes

      Postural hypotension can be due to dehydration, prolonged bed rest, pregnancy, diabetes, heart problems, burns, excessive heat, large varicose veins and certain neurological disorders, according to MayoClinic.com. Drugs used to treat high blood pressure, antidepressants, drugs used to treat Parkinson's disease and medications used to treat erectile dysfunction can also be to blame. Postural hypotension can even occur in young, otherwise healthy people, and is generally harmless.
      Prevention

      To prevent dizziness when getting up from lying down, try moving slowly, MayoClinic.com recommends. Before getting up, breathe deeply for a few minutes. If the problem occurs when you get up from sleeping, try lying with the head of your bed slightly elevated. If you begin to get symptoms while standing, overlap your thighs and squeeze, or place one foot on a ledge or chair and lean forward as far as you can.
      Treatment

      Mild dizziness rarely requires treatment. If your dizziness bothers you and is caused by medications, your doctor may change the dose or type of medication. If your dizziness when standing up is recurrent, your doctor may prescribe the medication fludrocortisone.

      Baby good stuff and i think the article nailed it. As all tests came back normal, the doc was questionig my water intake. now, i have suffered from dehydration in the past and been told to drink a gallon of gatoraide per day.

      Makes sense about Postural hypotension beinf cause by dehyrdration.

      since then, i'v been without a full water bottle
