Is it normal that i sometimes get suddenly dizzy for no reason?

Often, when I get out of the shower, or even if I just stand up, I think a rush of blood goes to my head or something. I get really dizzy for a few seconds, like 5 seconds, and I can't see and my eyes feel funny, and I feel faint. I also have a throobbing sensation in my head. Then, after a few seconds it goes away. Is this normal?

    You might be a tad anaemic...it's not unusual. you might have low B.P. - it's not a huge deal and pretty normal, but go see your doc anyway, just to check. Go on. Do it. Now. xxx

    I have the same problem and when I don't wait until it's over, the chance is very big that I will fall on the ground. The doctor says it's nothing.

    It sounds as if you have fluctuating blood pressure, which may or may not be a problem, only your doctor can tell, so I'd be having it checked out if I were you.
