You might want to ask your GP to arrange a tilt table test if you’ve had dizziness/fainting for a long time. My mother had lifelong fainting etc and considered it normal, until a tilt table test diagnosed vasovagal syncope. If you get a diagnosis, you’ll know how/when to manage it. Unfortunately for my mum, it needed a late night collapse and traumatic brain injury to force the issue…
This sort of thing usually results from a build up of displaced guilt and shame about the weird sex stuff you did in uni. I suggest developing a substance abuse problem to mask the symptoms
Probably dehydrated. Might be worth getting a home BP machine and checking it. You can do it lying or sitting then stand up and do it instantly. See if there is a difference in the big number between the 2. If the standing is more than 20 mmHg less than the sitting then it could be postural hypotension and worth seeing someone.
I have this occassionally, mostly when in bookshops. One moment you’re crouched down on your haunches browsing the bottom shelf, and then you stand up suddenly to track the top row of the adjoining bookcase and the next thing you experience is lying on a sofa and people asking you if you’re ok.

When did you last have your blood pressure checked? What was it?
Have you checked for Covid?
More likely the bad AIDS tho’

Orthostatic hypotension innit. If it happens a lot then pop the docs but probably nothing to worry about.

I went to the doctor last week, he said 'bad news, I'm afraid you've got cancer and Alzheimer's.'
Ah well, at least it's not cancer.

I got this when it turned out I had been secretly leaking claret from a stomach ulcer.
suggest, from experience, you don't wait until you are bundering A rhesus positive before seeing the doc.*
*altho this is a reliable way of fast tracking the Q at A&E

Dehydration? Seriously - it could be as simple as that.

I have had the odd period of this (perhaps for a day or two once or twice a year) throughout my adult life then it goes away again.

I get really dizzy after standing up after doing glute bridges with a barbell. Not sure my GP will look kindly on me if I make a complaint about this.
