Pathologist and Microbiologist, Dr. Shailja Puri's Response

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Feeling weak and experiencing black outs after getting up occurs due to reduced blood supply to the brain.
Reduced blood supply can occur due to vaso-vagal syncope, obstruction, spasm of blood vessels etc.
I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and relevant investigations.

Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja P Wahal
