A member asked:

Iv been getting this random feeling where for a second it feels like my head gets heavy and i'm going to black out. it only lasts one second!?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

"blackouts": there are a number of possible causes, but probably most common in a healthy 25 y/o would be sleep deprivation causing brief nodding off episodes. Are you getting enough sleep? If you feel you are getting the typical requirement of 8 hours of sleep nightly and don't feel sleepy otherwise, you should see a doctor for further workup.
