Why I Feel Like Fainting While Wakes Up From Sleep?

Lately, at night when I wake up and have to go to the bathroom, I sit on the edge of the bed for a couple of seconds and walk the five or six steps to the bathroom. When I get there I feel faint and, yeaterday, I kind of passed out. Luckely, I landed on my butt, on the comode.

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
You have to be very careful to start with.
Do not be alone , you should be accompanying by someone always to avoid such accidents which can be very serious sometimes.

You have a problem of vertigo , the causes can well be diagnosed by a visit with ENT or Neurologist. Till then take a full bedrest.
