Symptoms for I dont Know What! :S

Hey there,

For the last couple of years, I have been having trouble standing up without my vision blacking out and feeling a bit wobbly. I also occasionally find it difficult to stand up for too long, as my lower legs begin to feel hot and itchy, with my heart rate going through the roof.

This has been happening increasingly recently until yesterday, when I stood up and my vision went completely, my hearing became distorted, and i had to sit down immediately or i knew i would faint.

Is there something wrong with me, or this common?

Factors that influence fainting are taking in too little food and fluids, physical exercise in excess of the energy reserve of the body, emotional distress, and lack of sleep. also this can be caused by standing up too quickly or being in a very hot room.

More serious causes of fainting include cardiac (heart -related) causes (an arrhythmia), where the heart beats too slowly, too rapidly or too irregularly to pump enough blood to the brain. Some arrhythmias can be life-threatening
