As soon as I stood up I saw black all over, got dizzy (felt like I was abt to faint, but I just sat down on the floor) and out of breath, idk why but I became rlly thirsty after and had to drink water. Started shaking a bit afterwards but got better now. What could it be? Should I see a doc?

It can be because of orthostatic hypotension also called postural hypotension. It is a form of low blood pressure that happens when you stand up from sitting or lying down. Orthostatic hypotension can make you feel dizzy or lightheaded, and maybe even cause you to faint. Dehydration is the most common cause. Drink plenty of fluids in the form of water, aam panna, narial pani, bel sharbat, chaach, shikanji etc.
