Sudden head rush while seated?

[ChocoOrange]

As the title says, was just sat down, hadn't moved in a while when I got a really intense head rush sensation, like what sometimes happens when you stand up too quickly. It went away but has left me with a headache and a general woozy feeling. Can anyone relate? It's scared me to death, I had to wake up my girlfriend lol

I get them all the time, and for me it's neck/back tension. Always when I'm sitting at my desk, as it's also postural.

Feels like the kind of sensation you get at the drop of a roller coaster/falling, combined with a surge of 'something'.

Just ignore it, it goes away.

Yeah I was at my desk when it happened, was just a split second but it was terrifying. I thought my blood pressure tanked for no reason, felt just like when you stand up too fast. Is yours like that yeah? That makes me feel better

Yup had it loads of time - nothing serious.

When I first experienced it, it was pretty scary, but you get used to it. Never lasts for more than a couple of seconds and I still get them all the time. I work at a desk/studio all day long and I'm a postural moron.

Just before a panic attack every time. Worst feeling in the world and scary because it mimics or feels like I'm gonna pass out, but I never do. That's what a adrenaline rush does to ya at the wrong time. That's the worst thing I hate about my Panic Disorder. But like others here have said, trying to get into a mindset of ignoring it is the trick.

Edit to add: BTW, see my AVI of Fry...that's how I respond every time it happens. Lol.
