Answers:
It sounds like you are experiencing a sudden drop in blood pressure due to going from a laying position to a standing position. This is called "orthostatic hypotension." It accounts for the symptoms, but doesn't explain WHY it's happening. So I'm glad you are going to the doctor.Health Question & Answer

Have you had your blood pressure checked.? Low blood pressure can cause some of the symptoms you describe...but this sounds like something that you really need a professional opinion on...your heart may be pounding because of the level of anxiety you are feeling. But you must know that you should see someone or you would not be so worried about it.

Please go to the doctor ASAP...the symptoms could be anything and anyway the worry is just not good for you!!Health Question & Answer

nah you're okay. It can sometimes be a symptom of blood pressure medication.
Otherwise you just stood up to quickly, just slowly get up next time. Once i fell due to getting up and feeling everything spin.Health Question & Answer

it may be low blood pressure OR you may be dehydrated and hungry! eat and drink something and see if it changes!Health Question & Answer
