Answer 2

I got this all the time when I was younger (and still sometimes now). I have very low blood pressure and I am borderline anemic. Either one of those things OR hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) can cause this issue. Had you eaten yet? You may want to eat small meals throughout the day to keep your blood sugar level. Also, if you consume large quantities of caffeine or energy drinks, you should stop.

Answer 3

I used to suffer from this a lot, hun ring your mom and get yourself booked in with a GP. I wouldn't say a disability, probably your sugar or blood levels . Good luck x
