fainting/diziness/ light sensitive

Quite a few times (as in couple of times a week at most) i have spells when i become dizzy or faint and become really sensitive to light. I'm not sure if they are all connected or what, but was wondering what people thought it could be, doubt its anythign serious because its been going on over a year and when i faint i have some conciousness as in i know whats going on but cant do anything and my muscles tingle a bit. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like some kind of epilepsy to me but then I'm not a doctor. However, if you faint most days you should probably go to someone who is; it's not usually something to shrug off.

i would go see a doctor about it. is it the light that makes you feint? because if the 2 are not related it could be a problem connected to your ears my friend always feints because there is something wrong with her ear and balance

Sometimes this can happen to me in lessons, usually several times a week. It often lasts a large part of the lesson, but once I get up and walk about I'm fine. I'm certain this has something to do with sleep and getting up in the mornings, as basically if I rush getting up then I have these problems, if I take my time I'm fine!

its hard for any of us to make a judgement on here so i do think you should go and see your doctor or pop in to your local chemist and talk to them, it saves making a doctors apointment and they are qualified so will tell you if you need to see a doctor.
are you eating and drinking?

Do you get up fast or turn your head fast?
Try to slow down a bit in your movements.

Could be blood pressure related, as I find when I get blood rushes if i've got up too quickly my eyes don't like light. If it's happening a lot, see a doctor. Even if its nothing it can't hurt to be sure.
