I was sitting in bed with my laptop playing free rider when my sister asked me to check something in my brothers closet, so i get up, open the closet, and get a BIG headrush...after that it went black, i remember hearing me hit the floor, and i woke up like 20 seconds later with my brother staring at me like...what the FUCK are you doing?...should i get checked out cause i always get headrushes when i stand up quick and this is like the oddest thing and first time its ever happened where i faint.

you could have low blood pressure. That would explain light headedness when you stand quickly. If it happens alot maybe get it checked.

Same exact thing happened to me in the summer. My parents made me go to the doctor, he pretty much said that it was from lack of hydration and excessive exercise that made my blood pressure and pulse too low. So all i did was drink water and i was fine the next day. Good luck

that happens to me sometimes, but not for 20 seconds, maybe like 10, my head feels mad heavy and i just fall over and it takes me a couple seconds to snap back and get up

I've asked my doctor because this happens alot with me. He calls it tall and lanky syndrome. Nothing to worry about. It's just gravity.

I fainted once~ I was out for like 5  minutes~ Before I woke up in my mind was like sped up footage of a car ride~ Like put the camera on the windshield, tape and speed up~ and A sort of buzzing out as it was going that sounded like a turbine booting up~ It was really low at first but then got louder and louder~ as it was getting louder I was putting my thoughts together thinking why am I in a car, why is it speeding up so fast, this must be a dream cool, I must be in bed, but its not my bed, am I over a friends house? No I dont remember going to a friends house, wait I went out with mom, where did I go, I went to the mall, why am I sleeping at the mall? At this point the turbine sound reached its peak and I opened my eyes and everything made sense

this happened to me about a month ago. i was also sitting down with my laptop playing freerider 2 when my mom asked me to come help her in the kitchen. So i get up and get a massive headrush so i lean against the wall then everything weant black, then i remember hearing BANG and my mom was like "what was that" and i was like " i dont know" then i opened my eyes and saw myself lyeing on the ground and noticed my hip hurt really bad.

this hasnt happened to me since but now im catious when i get headrushes, if i feel a strong headrush and i start getting dizzy i usually sit down right away so if i were to faint i would already be on the ground. I dont want to hurt myself, lol.

hmmm 2 cases of free rider 2....the only explanation is that aliens are using free rider 2 as a mind control device to brainwash us and one of the side effects is fainting when you stand up....ready the sporks, it's go time

i pass out/faint all the time. i once went to the hospital becuase it happened at work and they freaked out. the er doc said some people just faint more easliy then others and that i was one of them. i know when it is going to happen tho. you can either lay downa dn elevate your lower back and feet, or put your head between your legs. they are both for the same purpose...to get your heart above your head to get the blood going there. the only thing with putting your head between your knees is that if you do pass out you are going to tumble over! but if it happens again you shoudl get checkd out, and if you hit yoru head you should get checked out.
