General Medical Question - Non Urgent - Body jolts?

[edizzle.]

Okay so for a while now when I first wake up, I get these like body jolts. Like I'll be standing there and then it feels like I zone out and then my legs give out and I'll fall or I'll catch myself. It feels like my body goes into shock. Its hard to explain really but its almost as if my body goes back into sleep mode. I have insomnia. Do you think I should see a doctor about this problem?

i think you should see a dr about this, how dangerous would it be if you were doing something potentially dangerous, and then zone out.. like while driving, walking down stairs, working with power tools, etc. Are you on any medications? I had brain zaps when i was going off of certain SSRI's
Do you seem to have these more often when standing up after sitting for a while? how long has this been going on?
but i'd definitely go and see a dr about this.

This has been going on for a couple years. I'm only on birth control but i've only been on that for like a year. It's only when I just wake up and I'll go like put in my contacts and brush my teeth and then my legs feel like they give out and then i'm like whoa. it's the strangest thing.

this might be a blood pressure problem espcialy if it changes when you change position.
worth speaking to your doctor about.
