What Causes Random Episode Of Loss Of Vision And Hearing?
In school we were standing up and after about 20 minutes after she talks, i start getting sweaty so i take my jacket off and while im doing that i cant see (only some colors & shapes) and her voice gets lower. I start getting dizzy and dont feel to well. She told me to come closer so i can see what shes doing, so im as close as you possibly can get and its all blurry, i cant see a thing. After we sat sown someone i gain my vision and hearing back and someone said im super white. What happened and will it happen again?

Hello!
I understand your concern.
In my opinion it' s nothing serious. The troubles you have are caused by low blood pressure during standing up. This is called orthostatic hypotension. It causes hypoperfusion to your brain , which you perceive like blurrin vision and troubles hearing.
You should have a good physical examination, a measure of your blood pressure in two positions , first lying and then after 5 minutes standing up. If your blood pressure decreases more than 20mm Hg, this is the diagnosis.
You should have a blood routine test to rule out anemia which could also cause these symptoms.
You should have further tests like EKG , a cardiologist consult to find out the main cause of hypotension.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes, Dr Abaz
