Dizziness, Nausea, and Odd Thing With My Eyes?

[ImpudentStrumpet]

Hello. c:

For the past few weeks, after I've been in the sun for a few hours, for some reason or another, I look down at my feet for a few minutes and when I look up (mind that I move my head slowly so it can't be a head rush), I get this awful feeling of dizziness. Then, as if the hot sun and dizziness weren't enough, everything seems to turn yellow like I'm looking through yellow glass. And then it gets very bright. (Don't say I'm looking at the sun, because people always make jokes about that when I tell them.) And then I get awfully sweaty. I can literally soak a napkin all the way through with my sweat.

If I look down or huch down on my knees, it usually gets better. But when I get back up again, it's the same. It doesn't go away until I am actually resting for atleast two minutes.


Is this because I'm not getting enough sleep and spending too much time in the sun? This never occured before because I never had too be in the sun so long. I do eat breakfast and try to stay hydrated.

Also, when I stand up after being in a sitting or laying position, I sometimes do get dizzy and get black spots over my eyes that last for about fifteen seconds. This happens regardless of how fast I'm getting up. (This has been happening for years.)

Oh, and my eyes have been bloodshot for the past two weeks. But I'm sure that was just because I haven't been getting nearly enough sleep.

I'm fourteen, female. Please help?

Hi
Welcome to the forum!
There are many causes of dizziness, lightheadedness, passing out, blackouts etc. It is difficult to comment without examination. I am just enumerating the possible causes. You can discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined.
Dizziness could be due to postural hypotension (blood pressure falling with change of position), internal ear problems and cervical spondylitis or compression of cervical spinal nerves. All these cause dizziness when you get up from lying down position or when you change position that results in a change in the level of your head. Cervical spondylitis and ear problems also cause dizziness on changing the position of the neck.
Dehydration, certain medications, heart problems, untreated diabetes, and nervous system disorders can all cause postural hypotension. Certain internal ear problems can also affect blood pressure monitoring by the body by not properly signaling a change in position.
Compression of the spinal nerves in the cervical spine region happen due to overuse of computers, work involving straining of neck, canal stenosis, bone disease, spondylosis, poor posture etc.
Presence of anemia, GERD, hypoglycemia or low sugar and some endocrine problems like underactive thyroid (called hypothyroidism), overactive thyroid (called hyperthyroidism), adrenal insufficiency (called Addison's disease) can also precipitate dizziness. Over exposure to sun can also be a possibility.
Blood pressure monitoring, tilt table test, EKG, heart echo, ambulatory blood pressure recording, MRI of cervical spine, ENT consultation and some blood tests  are all required for a diagnosis of your problem.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
