Tunnel Vision On Standing Up, Loss Of Balance, Shivering, Buzzing Sound In Head. Cure?

I am a 24 year old female. I get tunnel vision when I stand up most of the time. Yesterday night scared me more than usual though. I stood up from watching TV to go pee and I got the tunnel vision and I grabbed the wall, and tried to sit down but it was like my legs gave out and I fell down. Also, the left side of my body slightly shook. My head had a slight buzzing noise, but after a moment I felt fine. I am sorry, but I do not have insurance and do not really want to go to the doctor. Thank you.

Hi..
You might be having vertigo..
When you stand up from sitting or lying down position, you find difficulty to balance yourself and you may get visual disturbances because of that.
Your physician may prescribe you cinnarizine for your symptoms..
I don't think it is the problem of eyes..
Take care...
