headrush
Standing-up-too-fast feeling
A headrush is a sudden lightheaded or dizzy sensation, typically caused by standing up too quickly, hyperventilating, or a sudden change in blood pressure.
The feeling may include brief disorientation, spots in vision, or a rushing sensation in the head: I stood up too fast and got a headrush.
