Dizziness

I'm a 14 year girl and whenever I stand up after lying or sitting down from as much as 30 minutes to only 10 seconds I get really dizzy and I get all these black dots in my vision to where I can't see and I lose my balance and have to grab onto something it usually takes from 30 seconds to a minute to go away. I've been having this for many years now. My mom says she has low blood pressure so it might be that but then also sometimes but not very frequently I'll have these extreme heart pains in my chest to where it hurts worse to breathe in and they'll last from a minute to 5 minutes. It also hurts my heart to take in a deep breath after running. I'm very active and play soccer and other sports alot but it especially hurts
my heart to breathe after I've been swimming for a while and I usually get lightheaded and dizzy. I would like to
know if this is normal or a problem. Please give me what you think it might be and if it's serious or not!

I think it's on your blood, I think that's one of the symptoms of being an anemic. You should sleep longer than 6 hours, so that your blood can circulate more, also stay away from fatty foods that can locked up your veins that can affect your blood circulation..

Part of it does sound like low blood pressure but I think you have enough symptoms there to take this serious. Please go and get seen and have a complete physical done, including blood work. You need to find out what's going on. Your body is trying to tell you something.

I'm an older man who had a similar situation 2 years ago...I'd suggest getting to a doctor ASAP..I wound up having to get a pacemaker (not as serious as you might think..but the dizziness and blacking out is something that should most definitely be checked out particularly if you are an athlete.
