What Causes Black Outs?

Hi, I am 15 and most times I get up my eyes go black for about 10 seconds and I can't see anything I feel off balance and I have to stand still for a while this normally happens In the morning but sometimes I get It in school too, I am usually really tired. Is there anything wrong with me?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having sudden blackouts of vision with dizziness.
These symptoms indicate transient ischemic attacks.
The common causes are hypotension, hyopovolemia...
Take adequate fluids and nutrition and still if the symptoms recur need to rule out pathological causes like carotid artery disease....

Thank you
