So, I'm pretty sure I've told you guys about my fainting/dizzy spells.

Well, today, I was hanging out with my boyfriend (and we were kinda messing around >.>) and all of a sudden I got really dizzy, and my eyesight got blurry, and my eyes felt like they were going to roll back in my head, and my head shook really fast and uncontrollably. I got several more of those head-shaking spasms. It didn't hurt really, it just scared the hell out of me and almost made me cry because I couldn't stop it and it went on for a couple minutes.
My dad was trying to say it's because I'm not getting enough sleep. The thing is, I am getting sleep, I just go to sleep at a different time than most people. I tend to sleep like 2-10 or 11. That's a good 8-9 hours of sleep.

The fainting spells didn't worry me all that much after I went to a doctor and he told me that some people just faint, and I'm one of those people.
But this?

It's probably some kind of syncope. I have neurocardiogenic syncope which means my heart and brain don't communicate with each other the right way and when most people get head rushes by standing up too fast, I past out. I also get head rushes every time I stand up whether or not I did it fast or slow. It's probably something to do with that. I wouldn't worry about it unless it gets worse. heart

How do they find something like that though?

I dunno, humans are weird. Have you thought about talking to another doctor or something? Maybe it's something you're eating / not eating. I don't know if I'd call that something some people just do.
I have heart palpitations and my cardiologist found nothing weird... they just happen occasionally. I do notice they happen more often during weird physical things, like stretching over awkwardly especially when crouching.
I also remember I was getting a lot of weird twitching and some involuntary movement when I was getting extremely little sleep. It was several months of like 3-7am sleeping. Right now I sort of sleep like you... 12-2am until 7 to 8am and I'm not getting weird things.

I had the head rush very often... but more recently I've started doing pushups regularly and it doesn't happen anymore. I can stand up instantly after them and nothing happens, whereas before I had to sit on the ground for a bit or else I'd black out for 10 seconds.

Well, I've talked to two different doctors, but one was a specialist so yea.
I thought about going to a different one though.
And I do have a small heart murmur, but the heart specialist said it was a harmless murmur.
If I keep getting this head spasming thing when I get dizzy I am going to go to a doctor again.

I would definitely get another opinion from another doctor. If you were in the wrong spot at the wrong time when that happens you could get hurt. sad <333
