Yes, if that tends to happen often (I occasionally get a bit light-headed when standing up/moving suddenly, but it goes away in few seconds). Especially the hallucinations sound a bit worrying...2011-07-31 20:32:00

If it happens often yes. If you read the safety warning on LBP2 it says at one point if you are lightheaded consult your doctor before playing. Mabye the video games have something to do with it but yes.2011-07-31 20:48:00

If you're not trolling me with the Funky Kong ****, then I suggest you go to the hospital, or at-least call NHS Direct. 2011-07-31 22:02:00

I every once in a while get that If I sit down for long periods of time and immediately shoot straight up. Try getting up quite so often to allow the blood to circulate through your body. You're light-headed because certain points of your body would be restricted from sitting in awkward positions or even just sitting, and when you stand up all that blood rushes to another point, leaving some parts without enough blood flow.... Or so I've heard.2011-07-31 22:07:00

The only times I've ever felt like I was going to pass out (roughly three) I've been at school. Once in P.E when I had been running for ages and threw up, once at the start of the day after skipping breakfast because I was late, one time in D.T when the air smelled of wood chippings and strong glue. So physical exertion, hunger and strong fumes could affect you. :/2011-07-31 23:09:00

That's probably it, because if you stand up to fast you get a head rush and go light headed. As for the Funky Kong thing, I don't know, just your mind playing tricks probably 		2011-07-31 23:55:00

Sudden movement, such as quick acceleration and deceleration tend to upset the equilibrium.

As mentioned above, if it persists, I would visit 'em.		2011-08-01 00:04:00

That's just head rush (or it sounds like that from your description) everyone gets it. When you sit down for long periods of time, get up slowly and not quickly, it should prevent it from happening. 2011-08-01 00:09:00

Yeah, but you also shouldn't be wasting your doctors time with harmless, non-threatening symptoms.

This is a universal experience for everyone - we all get that head-rush if we stand up too fast (caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure).
If it is persistent, or happening at inconvenient times - or if the dizzy spells are especially pronounced or you are actually fainting - then yes - go to the doctors.

other-wise - don't waste their time.		2011-08-01 01:29:00

Hm? It could be Anemia?

Just like when you lose blood, you feel weak and sleepy; Your tiredness everytime you stand could be a 'lack of blood'.

Of course, this is a worse-case scenario. 		2011-08-01 21:38:00

Sounds like you might have Anaemia, its a deficiency in iron, the symptoms of which are light headedness, lethargy, dizziness e.t.c. Iron is one of the main ingredients needed to transport oxygen around your system. Dizziness and light headedness is basically a lack of oxygen to the brain

Get some Iron supplements from your local health store, eat plenty of red meats and/or green leafy vegetables, Lettuce, Cabbage, Spinach e.t.c. are the best types.

You may also have low blood preasure, if a large portion of your diet contains high levels of salt (that includes pretty much all types of 'quick' pre-packaged food types, which are extremely high in salty preservatives), that will be effecting your blood preasure, meaning even less oxygen is getting round your system.

You may also have an infected lymph node, lymph nodes are also part of your bodies blood pressure regulation system, having an infection in one of them might be tightening an area of one of your arteries slightly more than usual, which would cause bouts of dizziness and light headedness.

Its nothing too serious, unless you begin to keep passing out regularly. I would go to your doctor either way, just to get a professionals opinion.		2011-08-02 00:39:00

To a lesser extent, low blood pressure, which I have. 		2011-08-02 00:40:00

"Doctor, Doctor!" "What is it, Doctor?" "Doctor, it appears this patient needs to focus on LBP2 instead of N*ntendo." "Yes, Doctor. On it, Doctor." "Good luck, Doctor." "Yes, Doctor."2011-08-02 02:36:00

It probably needs to be pointed out that you shouldn't get medical advice from anyone but a doctor. If you really think you have a persistent problem, schedule an appointment with your local physician. Could these symptoms be ultimately benign? Sure. But the last place you should be seeking medical advice is a forum about LittleBigPlanet.

Typically cause by low blood pressure. Nothing to worry about. The more water you drink the less this will occur. Also, as others have said try to change positions slowly so blood has time to reach your head. 2011-08-11 17:22:00
