A member asked:
Why when like waking up from the bed, it's like a blackout for some seconds. is that because of waking up too fast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not due to awakening: If you arise rapidly, your blood pressure may temporarily drop, causing the visual issues. Does especially occur with dehydration, and can be associated with many medications. Some with migraine may experience a similar problem. If this causes faintness, or you feel dizzy, best to seek further medical attention.
