Hi, Im a 13 year old girl and most of the time when I stand up I feel faint, my eyes go blurry for a few seconds and I can feel my heart beating in my head... If thats even possible? Ive told my mum and dad but theyve said its nothing to worry about and maybe its just that I just stand up to quickly but its happening more regularly now and I dont know whats going on
Welcome to Chat Doctor! The symptoms appear to be due to low blood pressure most possibly, and happens frequently in girls / females. You should get blood test- hemoglobin, thyroid level and get blood pressure reading in both lying down and sitting position. Take good nutritious food, avoid tea / coffee, take more of vegetables, and exercise. Try to stand up slowly when you have been sitting for some time, and move your legs before standing up. (similarly when you get up from lying down posture). Hope the reply is usefulness free to ask more questions
