Feeling light headed all the time. black out 50% of time when i stand up. fainted once last week on standing up. what is causing this and what to do?

Postural hypotension: That happens when the blood supply to the brain drops when one stands up. One of the major causes would be anemia for a person of your age especially if you do not consume meat. However there are also other causes and thus you need to consult your doctor asap since passing out is a dangerous warning sign and you should be driving until the problem has been resolved.
