How To Treat Random Flash Of Light In Eyes Be While Getting Out Of Bed With Fainting Symptom And Weakness?
Hey there I have a quick question, I've been having like random flashes of light in my eyes each time I get out bed or get up off of bed. (maybe it might be the computer exposure) The thing is that each time it happens I feel like I'm about to faint and my body feels somewhat weakened sometimes I lay down for a bit just to calm it down but not as in like I actually lay down myself, more like I fall down back onto my bed and rest for about 10 seconds and it passes, I've been having this since I was younger like when I was about 12 or so, right now at the moment I am 17 I weigh about 230 or so and my height is 6'4.

Hello
Thanks for the query
The symptom you are facing is most likely a postural drop. I advice you to undergo ECHO to rule out valve involvement
I advice my patients to lie down on the side for 1-2 min and to get up side ways slowly. It has helped some my patients. I advice you the same.
I hope I was of help
Regards
