Hi, Tiara. My daughter was having light headedness almost to the point of passing out. Turns out she needed more salt. The one time I've passed out or blacked out, they did a CT of my head and found a polyp in my nose. They removed it and I haven't had a problem since. Hope that gives you one path to follow.

It could be a sign of POTS, I have it. POTS can cause symptoms like lightheadedness, fainting and an uncomfortable, rapid increase in heartbeat when standing up. Go to your doctor to rule out this condition.

I have to take incremental steps to getting up otherwise my vision goes black. So sit up a little and put your feet down and sit there for a few before standing up from lying down. If you’re a female-organ-having person, low iron can be a culprit. Not having enough salt, and anxiety has also gotten me a few times.
