I stood up to fast whyle getting out of the bath tub and I don't remember falling but I do remember ending up on the floor should I be concerned???
About an hour ago I stood up to fast getting out of the bath tub to change the song on my iPod and I stood up to fast. I don't remember falling but I do remember geting off the floor and hearing the towl bar thingy I was holding on to fall to the floor. I tore it right out of the wall when I fell. And I bit into my lip it stings and my one tooth really hurts now.
The thing is once again my parents are on vacation. Last year I stood up to fast and my legs started shaking and they were in vacation. But there was no shaking legs this time.
I always seem to feel light headed when I stand up whyle haveing a bath. Is this normal should I be alarmed???

Geminigirl1963 explains EXACTLY what I mean by extreme weight loss regimen. This weight loss will be NOT true weight loss; trust us.
I would recommend posting in the Weight Loss Forum too.
Good luck and all the best.

Though I hadent drank the full mug last nigh since I couldent do the work out. And I hadent had brekfest yet!
Oh and I lost the 6 pounds befor I started doing the work out. I dident start doing the work out until Thursday when I checked my weight so since then all I can hink of is how to keep it off and lose more it's my goal to lose 18 more pounds befor September 7th when school starts and I guess I have probably lost weight since Thursday but I am not sure how much since I don't have a scale so I just check when I'm at my friends. And it's even better because my friends I've been hanging out with all summer are trying to lose weight. Though my one friend deffently dies not need to lose weight but I have no bussiness telling her that being that I want to lose weight as well. But ya so they are encouraging. And I don't think 18 pounds can't do me that bad the reason my goal is 132 is because it's the lowest I can go and still be healthy but really I just want to have a flat stumic!
Ok I guess I have left out one peice of important information. Whyle I do the work out I always have a HUGE mug of water beside me because I remember watching one the last Tyra shows and she said she drank a bunch of water and kiterly pee'd her weight off. The other night I drank she of those mugs. I think there beer mugs.
My guess is it's from a combination of things
1) The heat in the bath
2) Your recent weight loss, which, from what you describe you're doing for an exercise plan, is probably mostly water weight loss, therefore dehydrating you, which in itself can make you dizzy/lightheaded and possibly faint
3) getting up too fast from a seated or reclining position
4) not getting enough calories for your activity level/possibly low blood sugar
I would definitely leave the fan on while you're in the bath (and try to use cooler water), increase your fluid intake and also check in with your doctor to make sure you're not deficient in some nutrients/vitamins since you've been dieting - and also get your blood sugar checked.

Your bp is probably dropping when you are standing while bathing and could be perfectly normal other times. The hot water/steam dilates the blood vessels thus causing the temporary drop in bp.
I would recommend using the fan or cracking the door open a little while bathing if you can.
I had recommended consulting your physician because of the extreme weight loss regimen you are doing to make sure nothing else is going on.

And why do I always feel light heade when I stand up during a bath. I had stood up a few minutes befor I fell to and felt extremly light headed. Then I stood up a few minutes later and that's when I fell. Why is it that I am always ligh headed when I stand up during a bath. Could it be because I don't use the fan because it makes the water cold??? I know I usto have to use the fan during baths when I was in grade 5 and 6 cuz I had troubles breathing. ???
I had my blood pressure checked a few months ago at a dentist appointment and it was perfectly healthy!
Your weight loss regimen sounds BRUTAL to your body.
I would recommend having your blood sugar and bp checked.
If you are trying to lose weight, please seek the advise of your physician and do it safely.
5'10" and 150lbs sounds about right for you.

I have been cutting back on food because I want to lose weight and have a flat stumic and have been exersising an hour a night with a sweatshirt on so il sweat because I know if oh sweat enouph you'll lose weight. I am 5 foot 10 and weigh 150 pounds. Though I wasent able to work out last night cuz the system wasent working. BUT last year when I stood up to fast I wasent trying to lose weight. And I guess I fainted befor I hit the ground because I don't remember falling. Though I do remember hearing the metal pole hit the ground. And I felt a little light headed for an hour or so after the fall
Your blood pressure could be low. Your not eating right or getting the right vitamins? chk w/ dr for diabetes. R U on a diet?
You have asked the so-called "million dollar question."
In an emergency room, when a patient is brought in with a history of LOC (loss of cosciousness) the first question is (a) Did you black out and then fall or (b) did you fall, and then did the fall cause you to lose consciousness.
Often there is what is called "retrograde amnesia" and the patient doesn't remember things very well.
Many times the answer is simply not there.
I would be more comfortable if you saw a neurologist.
That being said, it is likely that your fall was caused by a failure of your blood vessels to squeeze and compensate for you standing up. When a person stands up the blood vessels in the thigh and legs contract and autotransfuse about a liter of blood upwards (in an adult). When there is a "lag" in this process, there may be light-headedness or a person may faint. Usually there is a co-factor, such as dehydration or anemia. Sometimes iron deficiency or a low hematocrit. During the summer dehydration is the biggie.
There are certain diseases (i.e. Parkinsons) that degrade the ability of the peripheral vasculature to contract, but this is unlikely.
In the back of your mind is the word "epilepsy".
Fainting is not epilepsy and it appears you have fainted.
You really should have gone to the emergency room.
While it is unlikely you have a structural problem such as a tumor, there is always that possibility, and in the United States MRI's are relatively inexpensive and definitive. Among other tests orthostatic vital signs should have been taken.
Get yourself a work-up from an M.D., but the probability is you do NOT have a serious neurological disorder.
