eat, also it happens when you are sick or hungover because you havnt moved for a while, get some iron into your system if possible it should help.

sounds like an iron defficiency, go to the store and get some vitamins/iron pills.

People who can diagnose iron deficiency over the internet are wasted in this place. Go see a doc if you're concerned.

iron deficiency could be a reason, girls around the time of their "dirty week" can develop ow blood sugar, and you could be anemic. But Im not a doctor (yet) so go see a rela doctor

Happens to me all the time. I have something that's called
Benign Positional Vertigo. It's an imbalance in your inner ear. Nothing serious. Sometimes if I fall hard it gets worse.
It's basically caused by your "ear rocks" (honest - they are like little receptors that sit on the small hairs in your inner ear. They get jostled out of their usual positions and into your ear canal. Your doctor should be able to tell by watching your eyes when they ask you to follow a pen from side to side. It's weird because they will actually see your eyes vibrate and jiggle from side to side. If they confirm BPV, they will do a special move called the Epley manouvre to settle the receptors back into their position.
Then usually you have to stay sitting up for a few days after the manouvre to ensure your receptors stay put.
Easy squeezy.

dude it happens to me all the time too, but here's the thing, i'm not a bitch about it. i love that shit, sometimes it almost seems like i hallucinate for 10-20 secs it's fucking awesome and i try to make it happen as much as i can

i'm not being a 'bitch' about anything yo. i think 10-20secs is a lil different than having it last for bout 15 mins, dontchya think? & how glad that you like it, but i'll get savage chills & then go all hot breathless.

Ahh someone who can relate. I guess I'm just hoping it doesn't happen when I'm out on the hill the next time. Just because a few days ago, it happened when I came into the chalet. I got all dizzy, & sorta fell over onto my friend.

i used to get really dizzy and not be able to see properly, everything would just jumble together and the lights were funny, but i would never faint. it happened to me a few times a week for a couple months, then it just went away, i havent had that feeling for 4 months now....so i guess im good? i went to my doctor about it, and they were no help whatsoever, they said it was probably nothing, and told me to come back if it continued....i have a crappy doctor.
also my boyfriend gets really dizzy all the time when he stands up from sitting or something like that, he gets so dizzy he will fall over. he usually stands up, says "uhoh" and then i run to catch him. hes been to the doctor as well and i think its because his blood pressure is really low.

Haha.. Smoking bud helps with it ehh??
Nah I've abstained from weed for the past.. OMG. 2 months TOMORROW. Wow. Thats crazy. I didn't even realise. I may have anemia again, but iunno. I'm pretty sure I eat around enough, but then excerise overtakes what I eat definately. Whatever, we'll see what happens in the long run. I'll continue to somewhat get the shivers about the whole dizzyness thing, but be chill with it when the day passes.

why weed is always a good thing?
but if you excercize a ton then you should eat morelike im really thin cause i excersize a ton and ibly run off a bowl of instant oatmeal some gramcrackers and a bowl of top ramen on the average day, but im REALLY thin and i need to eat more, if you spend your whole day on your feet try eating like idk, some cookies or somethin just to have extra carbs
