@zozo101 It sounds to me like your dizziness and vision going black on standing might be related to your heart and blood pressure. Have you consulted a doctor about that?
Standing up will cause a change, and your body has to compensate for that. At times if I stood up too quickly, it could happen to me. One of my doctors would take different blood pressure measurements while laying down, sitting or standing. The vertigo I experienced from the positional change in my neck (when the vertebrae were out of alignment) did not cause a loss of vision, instead it looked like the world was spinning.
I'm including a link about other causes of dizziness taht may be of interest.

Thank you for the thought. I wish it was the case but I do not have orthostatic hypotension currently and was never diagnosed with it in the past. My blood pressure was always being monitored by the medical team after my AVM rupture. I even had EKGs to be certain of my heart function. They did not feel my blood pressure was a concern. I have never been on medication for hypertension and always saw physicians for routine check ups. I will certainly keep it in mind. I don’t feel differently when I get up from a lying position. Thank you for bringing the thought to my attention. I don’t know if acupuncture therapy will help in my case. I have been looking to find an acupuncturist locally.
