SOmething similar, but more profound happens to me.

If i rise from a sitting position too quickly, i go  completely blind for a few moments (three or four second is when it's faded), i'm pretty sure it's due to Interrupted bloodflow, and as long as it dosent actually harm me, i don't really care about it. it's pretty trippy.

Unless your legs are strong enough to catapult your body from sitting to upright in a few milliseconds, that shouldn't happen. You may feel dizzy for a short while when getting up from a crouching position, and see stars for a while. But completely blind? I'd say you should see a doctor before the real problem surfaces...

Well, his description is a tad vague, but I experience something that could be described exactly the same way quite frequently. The cause? Low blood pressure. No need to start a panic. Quoth the wiki article I linked:

Symptoms: blurred or dimmed vision (possibly to the point of momentary blindness)

[JoshuaFH]

Does anyone else ever see sparkles? Like, sometimes your eyes go funny, and then your eyesight is covered in glitter for a couple seconds?

[Hippoman]

shits...thats what that is.
Fuck.

[Neonivek]

Anyhow ignoring what everyone else wrote.

Floaters are actually perfectly natural and overtime you can actually lose track of them.

They are effectively dead color cells in your eyeballs.

Now listening to what everyone else said

It looks like more is going on. Your supposed to be going to an Eye doctor once a year anyhow.

[Rooster]

Yeah, I know they're not dangerous on their own.
But I'm only 15 so this is really weird.
I also experience partial black outs and dizzyness when I get up from bed too fast :/

[Ultimuh]

I have them.
Sometimes I see them, sometimes I don't.
Never knew theese things had a name tough, or was so common.

Well, maybe you should see some expert about that.

I always accounted that to the tarm "Seeing Stars." Of course, I didn't get this through being repeadetely punched in the face.
 And I have seen the get-up blindness and dizziness. From what I understood it has something to do with your blood rushing down to your legs and lowering the blood pressure in the head. Never got knocked out from it through.

[IndonesiaWarMinister]

Heh, I do got these from time to time..

So it's surprisingly common, eh?

(BTW, rooster, still using mah mouse-made sig?)

[Angellus]

I've had those all my life XD Thanks to you I now know it is not actually meant to be 

[Lear]

Huh, so that's what those are. I thought for whatever reason it might be some magnifying effect by having microbes or something inside your eyes when I was younger.

[ChairmanPoo]

the thing is that it can mean different kinds of phenomena, which in turn can mean different things themselves.

[Rooster]

Something is seriously wrong about mankind if such diseases are so common...

IWM: Yeah, why not? I still have the sentiment about Inaluct's ministry so I still have it. Besides it's cooler than finding something on the internet. You did a great job editing this.

I have this very bad.
If i sit down for 5 minutes when standing up a blood rush goes to my head, i start losing all vision and feel lightheaded. Then if sitting down very long, ill collapse and one time it was very hard to get back up.


Its a very serious thing. SOmeone told me I had low blood pressure. and i need more sugar and salt but I dont know. Also twice it was very severe.

I was in school and i couldnt even hold my head up. The back of my neck burned and i was yawning so much i couldnt even stop.

The bell rang and i ran out the door blue spots all over my vision, then i started losing it. then i shook it off raced into the office and the nurse just so happened to be right there at the time. Turns out my face was Plae. like...super pale.

anyway i rested for a while. thats all it takes. its becuase not enough blood is getting to head. It later happened again more everely.

I woke up and i was freaking out. vision was going in and out, could barely move i was so tired, very pale, and breathing so loud i was almost yelling it. i layed down in the bathroom keeping my feet high for about an hour and then i was fine.






OK. biug wall of text but still. Thats my story. Might want to see a doctor. My parents dont think its serious so they dont want me to.

@Rooster:
Heh, I was (and still) a n00b back then.

But still, thanks

Huh, so that's what those are. I thought for whatever reason it might be some magnifying effect by having microbes or something inside your eyes when I was younger.

Hey, me too! I noticed them while I was doing some lab-work... I thought I was seeing some kind of bacteria below the lenses.;.


@hippoman: Holy shit,m that's hardcore. Go to a doctor, NAO!
