There have been times when I get up too fast and my vision deteriorates. I see white spots and will have to sit down. Once at work, it happened to me and I loss vision and hearing. I was so scared, but my boss said I just needed some crackers and juice and I should be fine. True, I didn't eat very much that day and I work at a very busy place. This incident has happened to me more than once but both those times, I can say I didn't have a very big meal. This weekend however, I had 3 shots in a row, was able to sing Kareoke and take a 30-40 min. nap. I got up real quick to go home and I lost vision and hearing for a good 5 min. again. I sat down, drank water, got up and it happened again. I then ran outside for fresh air and was fine. And I wasn't feeling like the room was spinning and I needed to throw up. Does anyone know why this is? I've called Kaiser and they say I have to drink water, eat 3 meals a day, and exercise (all of which I don't do and haven't done for years). Why is this happening to me now? I had a physical 2 years ago when the first incident happened at work. My test results came back negative and the doctor never told me what could've been wrong with me.

My brother experienced this, and it turned out he was diabetic. That doesn't mean you are, but there has to be some explanation for it. Visit your regular doctor, or another doctor and try to get to the bottom of it.
