Hi, i'm commonly having tunnel vision and feeling like about 2 faint and when standing and with legs pain which reduce by compression. is it normal?!

Not normal: The fainting and tunnel vision when standing is commonly cause by having postural hypotension ( blood pressure drops when you stand up). Compression of the clf increases the amount of jblood for the heart to pump around, (lack there of) can cause your pressure to drop when you stand. See you medical doc to put the two together and treat you.

Orthostatic hypo: To have orthostatic hypotension means that the blood pressure is too low upon rapid standing resulting in a feeling of fainting. As the brain is hypoperfused, consciousness can fade and a person can faint. Near fainting spells can also be characterized as sensation of tunnel vision. It can happen when dehydrated or when normal compensatory mechanisms are not functioning.
