| Feb 26, 2018 at 15:04 | comment | added | tenebris2020 | @ratchetfreak I'd say it's not so sudden. The constricted vessels need some time until they "unfurl", so to say. That's why you have a burning sensation in your legs after you've stood up. This sensation might not be going away for 30 seconds or more. | |
| Feb 26, 2018 at 14:55 | comment | added | ratchet freak | @tenebris2020 but a sudden free flow to the legs while the body was trying to pump blood in that direction can decrease the flow to the brain momentarily | |
| Feb 26, 2018 at 12:38 | comment | added | tenebris2020 | @Michael A fainting spell is a case of blood flow becoming restricted to the brain, not to the legs. People rarely faint after sitting for a long time in an airplane seat, but they might get DVT. A headrush is possible when standing up (but not while sitting down), and it's about an inner-ear disorder, not about blood flow to anything. | |

| Feb 25, 2018 at 21:21 | comment | added | Chris H | I suspect that the two things are combined, perhaps with a 3rd, which I'll add as an answer | |
| Feb 25, 2018 at 20:33 | comment | added | Penguino | Bonking sounds like a reasonable hypothesis, but if the poster is concerned it is advisable to get a professional assessment from a health professional. | |
