Hello. Iam 14 years old and these things have been happening to me for the last few months.
about twice or three times a day I get very dizzy and lightheaded and spotted vision, sometimes I get nauseous. Usually I'll just be walking or right after I get up from sitting for a long time, and those things will happen for about a minute or two. Yesterday I was talking to a friend and it happened and I had to sit down. It never was that bad that I would have to sit down though.
I have no idea what could be causing this to happen. Can anyone help me, please??

 Hello,
What you are complaining of is known as postural hypotension. The causes are numerous from a previous long stay in bed to more serious diseases. I would advise you to have it checked out if it has been happening for a few months as you say. Especially if it is increasing in frequency or intensity.
Best regards,
