What Could Sudden Feeling Of Black Outs, Tingly Arms And Legs In A Teenager Mean?
Hi. I am a 15 year old boy. I am 5 10 and weigh approximately 145 lbs. When I stand up after sitting down for a while, my vision goes black and I feel as though I am on the verge of blacking out. Also, my legs and sometimes parts of my arms feel tingly. I ve read some things that say it s just because I m growing, but could it be anything else?
Hello,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that When you stand up after sitting down for a while, your vision goes black and you feel as though you are on the verge of blacking out,also your legs and sometimes parts of your arms feel tingly. It is due to sudden fall of blood pressure when you suddenly stand up after sitting down for a while it is nothing to do with growing . It is normal response to quickly standing, so stand up gradually. Even then if it persists then consult physician. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.I do hope that you have found something helpful.If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
