      I was taking a bite of lasagna, sitting home alone, when I read this. (But not dead.)

            Does it get up to pee a few times at night or do I need to buy a different one for that?

            [–]Lithius 47 points48 points  (0 children)

            It'll get up just fine, but finding a comfortable position when it goes to lay back down is a premium expansion pack, and is highly unreliable.

            [–]CriusofCoH 267 points268 points  (69 children)

            Funny, that happened to me a lot as a teen, when I was in very good shape with a slow heart rate and healthy low blood pressure. Now that I'm an kld piece of shit, not so much. For one thing, I don't stand up so quick.

            [–]Icy-Consideration405 136 points137 points  (17 children)

            It happened to me as a kid. Laying on the couch watching golf, I realized it was boring. I stood up and changed the channel. But the boring voices talking about the player's biographical history kept going until I woke up in the middle of the potted plants next to the TV. It's never happened again, and all because I stopped watching golf.

            [–]BerzinFodder 25 points26 points  (2 children)

            Correlation = causation. Golf made you pass out. Theory checks out.

            [–]Chief_Givesnofucks 5 points6 points  (1 child)

            You ever watch a round of golf? That shit DEFINITELY checks out.

            [–]vicaphit 13 points14 points  (0 children)

            It used to happen to me when I was young as well. I would stand up, stretch my arms, then just black out. I once face planted in front of my mom and it freaked her out.

            [–]DaBossRa 23 points24 points  (4 children)

            It happened to me too and I didn't even feel going put, just remembered standing up then waking up on the ground. I was watching a movie with my parents when this happened and they freaked out seeing me just drop dead when standing up.

            [–]Lance2409 16 points17 points  (3 children)

            Me too! In my teens I got up too fast from my computer chair, started seeing stars then was out Luckily I was near my dad and he caught me before I hit the ground

            I think there is literally a crazy ex-hockey player with record drives who won the drive contest back to back, who plays right now and it's still not pulled people to watch golf haha.

            [–]Nor_Wester 1 point2 points  (1 child)

            Try listening to golf on the radio. You don't even have to stand up to pass out.

            [–]mrkruk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

            True story, in college my roommate and I put golf on the TV between classes because it genuinely made time feel like it was moving slower. A 30min break between running off to a class felt like you spent an hour or two sitting around.

            [–]ProppedUpByBooks 1 point2 points  (1 child)

            I can’t fully describe what it is I love about your comment so much, but this is basically the best I can do. Thanks for the laugh

            [–]Icy-Consideration405 1 point2 points  (0 children)

            I wish it was embellished because I was scared for a while

            [–]JapaneseStudentHaru -1 points0 points  (0 children)

            I had it quite a few times but one that stands it was while I was having sex with my husband (then bf) in the shower. I remember slowly waking up on the bathroom floor to him saying “wake up or I’ll call 911” which would’ve been horrible because we were in high school staying at his dad’s house.

            [–]blacksideblue 23 points24 points  (3 children)

            Same would happen as teen and occasionally still happens. It sounds excessive but I discovered performing the anti-G or hook maneuver is actually really good at countering it. Assuming no one is watching or listening, then maybe I'd pass out from embarrassment...

            [–]replus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

            Great tip! I accidentally discovered a similar breathing technique, as I volunteer with animals, and am often dropping to the floor and back up again. I'll fill my lungs about halfway, pressurize my torso, and slowly exhale while getting up. If I skip this and just get up, it's dizzy time.

            [–]OGPunkr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

            Fascinating, thanks for the tip.

            [–]cartoonassasin 16 points17 points  (1 child)

            It happened to me so often at that age that I got pretty good at last minute prep to minimize the effects. Take off glasses, find softest available landing spot. Slowly... and I'm down.

            [–]cefriano 3 points4 points  (0 children)

            Yep, I got pretty good at either bracing myself or preemptively sitting down because I knew my legs were about to give out.

            [–]BananaBob55 15 points16 points  (1 child)

            I’m 20 and this shit has been happening to me for the last few years. I don’t keep track of how often but sometimes when I get up my vision gets all fucked and I feel dizzy. Never actually passed out, but it always feels like I’m close.

            [–]ohlookanotherthrow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

            It's called postural hypotension, stretch your legs before getting up after sitting down . Has been happening to me since I was a kid. Could be caused by something else so I'd mention it to your doctor next time you get checked out.

            [–]dysstatic[S] 36 points37 points  (24 children)

            Yeah standing up nice and slow is the key I think. My knees don't permit quick standing these days anyway.

            [–]_clash_recruit_ 9 points10 points  (5 children)

            I have Neuro cardiovascular syncope. Basically the blood vessels in my legs don't constrict and blood pools in the bottom of my body.

            They threw me in the hospital for it when I was 18 and in really good shape. I'm 35 now and have no problem managing it. The biggest thing is to not try to fight it and immediately sit down. It also gets a LOT worse when I'm dehydrated. Anxiety seems to trigger it too. I'm sure that's how my dog alerts to it. I'm guessing she smells the cortisol and stress hormones increase.

            [–]TheUnamusedFox 1 point2 points  (4 children)

            Duuuuude I was just diagnosed with this a couple weeks ago, though I never quite pass out. I usually just get tunnel vision or get close to passing out on roller coasters. I can’t stand in one place too long or my blood pressure will get low, though. I was fainting very slowly on the tilt table test until they called it and laid me back lol

            [–]_clash_recruit_ 1 point2 points  (3 children)

            Oh the tilt table knocked me the f out before it was even upright!

            I swear the biggest thing with me is staying hydrated. Also, not fighting tunnel vision. Once it starts, i have ~ 5 seconds to sit down or I'll completely black out. I'm conscious but extreme vertigo and disorientation.

            Do you have overall low blood pressure or is it just the sudden drop?

            [–]TheUnamusedFox 1 point2 points  (1 child)

            Sudden drop standing up, but if I stand still blood just slowly loses to gravity and it drops ever so slowly. I have to keep moving a bit or I’ll start having chest/lower throat pain, and then progress from there to tunnel vision and possibly blacking out. Playing rockband it’s a big problem because I stand dead still. If I reach for something at head level or above shortly after standing, instant tunnel vision.

            [–]Specialcrarckedegg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

            I have very similar symptoms plus a few others, I ended up diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, and with my luck I ended up with the more severe side of it.

            It's always the knees. Lower back isn't exactly helping, either, but the knees... damn, the knees.

            [–]DuskyDay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

            It's bees knees.

            [–]IlikeJG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

            34 and thankfully no problem with the knees yet, but FUCK my lower back is a complete mess. Like seriously fucked up.

            [–]RedditVince 1 point2 points  (0 children)

            Without any of the various diseases or issues it is usually hydration related because we don't stay properly hydrated.

            [–]kjacobs03 11 points12 points  (2 children)

            Me too. Happened a lot as a teen but extremely rare as an adult. Only happens on the hottest days if ever now.

              I always take my time. Feel it out, be prepared. Never passed out but get real light headed

              [–]Wate2028 2 points3 points  (0 children)

              It happened to me for the first when I was like 35, I had been dropping weight and was down from almost 400lbs to like 218lbs. Scared the living shit out of me, I was thinking "shit is starting to fuck up now that I'm trying to get healthy and live longer instead of when I was laying down and eating Cheetos all day?" I mentioned it to someone and told them that I'd been drinking tons of water and they suggested that I add some Lite Salt to my diet to help replace my electrolytes and the problem went away.

              [–]pete_moss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

              I used to have it happen after I went through a growth spurt. Eventually went away.

              [–]jableshables 2 points3 points  (0 children)

              Yeah, happened to me once as a very fit teenager. When I fell over, I hit my head on my bedframe and lost consciousness for an hour, but it felt like I immediately got back up. Finding dry blood by a small cut on my forehead and seeing the clock is how I knew I lost time. One of the strangest things to ever happen to me.

              [–]wineheda 2 points3 points  (1 child)

              Happens to my friend. It’s due to low iron he says

              [–]CalmlyTickingDown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

              Yeah, I have more blood-pressure to keep things pumping sufficiently nowadays, even if I change posture. It's not really a good thing.

              [–]cefriano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

              Same, I used to get head rushes all the time in middle/high school and even fainted a couple of times (have a nasty scar on the back of my head from passing out and cracking my head on the concrete). I was in great shape from varsity sports at the time.

              Pretty much never happens to me now at 32, even though I'm in much worse shape. I'm sure it has to do with the rapid growth during the teenage growth spurt phase.

              [–]MercutiaShiva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

              As soon as I went to university and started surviving on food from vending machines ( like more chips and soda) my blood pressure went up and I started to feel better!

              [–]blonde-poodle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

              Same! I think it's a low blood pressure thing. My blood pressure has probably gone up to a normal level from the stress of being an adult.

              [–]JapaneseStudentHaru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

              I had it because of an iron deficiency. It can be caused by dehydration too.

              [–]Spitinthacoola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

              If you flex your abs you won't pass out. Fun tip. Ex wife used to get syncope all the time and she hasn't fully passed out in years.

              [–]AgentChris101 73 points74 points  (14 children)

              As someone who suffers from Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. (POTS) I get this minus the old piece of shit part.

              [–]Ihaveamazingdreams 15 points16 points  (1 child)

              I have this too, but I'm getting pretty old now. At least I know now to keep up my salt intake and drink plenty of water. When I was a kid I would often get up then drop to the floor. My mother thought I was trying to be dramatic and funny.

              [–]AgentChris101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

              I can't keep up my salt intake or I risk heart disease, and my meds to deal with my risk of heart disease cause severe muscle pain so that's fun!

                It’s also caused by vitamin deficiencies and dehydration. I wouldn’t get too worried about having POTS before checking out those options

                [–]KiloJools -1 points0 points  (0 children)

                Obviously check those out but also a NASA lean test is a relatively inexpensive at-home diagnostic that can give you important data if following up on the basics doesn't help.

                [–]yelsnia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

                Yep! Fellow POTS sufferer checking in, I also get it minus the old piece of shit part.

                [–]Specialcrarckedegg 0 points1 point  (1 child)

                Eyyy so do I, is your's pretty bad? Nature seems to have blessed me with every symptom of POTS it can enough so that it does have significant impacts on me. And nature decided that the regular stuff such as salt and running dont help, so Im on meds for it.

                [–]AgentChris101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

                Salt and meds can't help since they make my chance of getting heart disease worse, and my meds that prevent me from getting heart disease cause me severe muscle pain.

                10/10 would not recommend.

                [–]KiloJools -1 points0 points  (2 children)

                I was gonna ask if anyone had cross posted this to the POTS sub yet haha

                I'm pretty sure I fractured my sternum with a sneeze once. Now it hurts in that area every time i sneeze. NEVER sneeze when you are in bed sideways. If you feel the sneeze coming make sure to roll over on your back at least.

                [–]Zymotical -1 points0 points  (0 children)

                You likely didn't, I get this a lot and it hurts but its just the joints popping.

                I honest to god believe that's how I'm gonna die 😂

                My migraine meds give me the sneezes and it's always like 6+ sneezes in a row and I feel like all my limbs are going to pop off. Whew.

                Wait 30 years, it gets even more fun. Too many "I can do anything I put my mind to", Vet care for many years, backpacking, free climbing, rappelling, sledding, skiing, high heels, welding, barn building, roofing, painting houses, large animal care, wildlife rescue and rehab. The key is tell your kids to pick a body part that they dont mind wearing out, then match the job to that, lol. (Don't go to the nasty side now) I mean arms, wrists, eyes, feet, knees, back, etc.

                Almost 34 and in the best shape of my life. I try not to lift extremely heavy to take some care of my joints, and I do moderate cardio every day.

                Take care of yourselves people! Get in shape young! Sometimes that’s not enough, but generally you’ll age more slowly and be healthier for longer.

                As a note, if you experience blacking out from standing repeatedly and often that can be a sign of low red blood cell counts, which could be a sign of various medical conditions including some that are very deadly if left untreated, such as in my case, freakin Leukemia.

                [–]jwilcoxwilcox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

                This happened to me (the symptoms, not leukemia) - every time I stood up I would see stars and get dizzy/lightheaded. It turns out I had something called Pseudotumor, or Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension. Basically my body was showing the telltale signs of a brain tumor, but I didn’t actually have one.

                But if you have these symptoms consistently, please see a doctor.

                Happened to me and I'm only 15, stood up from the toilet too fast. Fell into the bathtub with my pants down still and everything, my mom made me go to the hospital.

                [–]mrmas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

                Oh man haha I can relate. Same thing happened to me in my 20s, just about ripped out every towel rack on the way down !

                Oh wow, I didn’t even notice that. Saw the price of the pubes was $20, and I was like well that seems reasonable for some holy short and curlies.

                E: do I really need to say that I was joking here? Lol

                I’ve spent the last 2 years working from home and generally being inactive with random streaks of working out but mostly lifting weights as it’s hard to do cardio in my room. I started going to an office downtown this week and the elevator was broken first day. Walked up 3 flights of stairs and the manager asked me how was my commute. I replied gasping for air and sounded like that kid in the wheelchair from Malcolm In The Middle

                Wife has a heart condition where this occurs every single time she stands from a prolonged laying or sitting position. She usually finds a wall to lean against as she has a minor black out. Been this way since she was a teenager.

                [–]beansmclean 2 points3 points  (1 child)

                it's 2:00 in the morning. I have to be up in 4 hours. and I just laughed for 5 minutes straight with tears in my eyes, and damn I needed a laugh!

                My dad is a stubborn old asshole. and so is my mom and when they visited most recently, My mom left my dad alone with my 3-year-old. My dad is old as shit. and shouldn't be left alone with the 3-year-old because he falls asleep all the time because he turns off his hearing aids so he doesn't have to hear my mom bitch.

                My mom gets distracted outside, The 3-year-old needs someone to wipe his butt, and my dad, bless his heart, tried like hell to take care of it but I guess got lightheaded and when he was coming up from wiping my kids but he fell into the shower curtain, ripping down the bar, and ripped our toilet paper holder off the wall. We can laugh about it now because he didn't die. but he was stuck there for a long time. and my poor kid just sat there telling Grandpa he had to be more careful. My mom sucks big time on this one for not checking on him sooner. All is well and he didn't die.

                but man my poor husband had to go find a new toilet paper holder and patch the wall and reinstall it and of course now we don't have the paint so it looks like shit because we can't touch it up.

                so my dad is an old piece of shit who fell and this action figure is one of the funniest things I've ever seen on Reddit.

                but they have no sense of humor about the situation so I can't gift this to them so All I can do is save it to my phone and have a cathartic laugh over it every once in awhile.

                I genuinely can't tell you how much I appreciate you sharing this because God damn that's funny.

                  Got bored in a college lab class and started swiveling in my chair. Hit my knee on something and passed out. Wake up like in the cartoons with the whole class surrounding and looking down at me. Scuffed up from the descent I explain to my shocked classmates then ask where the teacher went. Turns out he ran off to go call 911 so I got to have a chat when the ambulance arrived!

                  Used to be a serious problem for me in my teenage years. I would often go to the ground sometimes even in public situations like standing up to get off the bus. Now I'm 40 and this rarely happens if at all anymore.

                  [–]merganzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

                  I don't usually have a problem with this at all, but yesterday was bad. I had a splitting headache alllllll day and every time I stood up, I felt like I was going to pass out. I might have been dehydrated or my electrolytes could be off (I take lithium and that does something wonky to sodium levels). Need to start sipping on pickle juice or something.

                  [–]the_eluder 2 points3 points  (1 child)

                  Some people have such low blood pressure that if they stand up quickly they get light headed or even pass out because of a temporary reduction of blood flow to the brain.

                  [–]sagey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

                  Its called POTS, or Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome.

                  Seems like I drew the short end of the stick, a year back It started off with my passing out from standing up to quickly but then came the extrmely iregular heart beats, the lack of breath, insomnia and the likes. After months of testing I was diagnosed with a severe case of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) Normally its treated by eating lots of salt and being healthy in regards to cardio, but the problem came that doing that wasnt enough. So Im now on several different medications, apparently its been quite along time since my cardioligist had someone with a severe enough case of POTS that he need to pescribe medication.

                  That happens to me all the time because of orthostatic hypotension caused by meds for cardiovascular disease. I'm medically managed to remain hypotense and a couple of meds inhibit vasoconstriction, so I have to stand up pretty slowly and methodically.
