> I may be mistaken, but when I was looking for info to help me understand why I fainted last year, I think I remember reading that in teens, it does have to do with growth and the development of the vascular system during and after growth spurts.
Noa -
Thanks. I did a very superficial search on the internet after reading about it here but I didn't find anything on teens. Someday maybe I'll look up more but since this hasn't been a problem for years its low on my list of things to learn about. Still it's nice to have one mystery solved. That funny feeling actually had a name. And you're right - learning to get up slowly is definately a good idea. In fact, its hard not to learn that lesson.By the way when I needed to learn about thyroid problems in the last year I used your posts to get me started - and found that, with your links, they covered everything I needed to know. Thanks.
