A headrush is a feeling of light-headedness. Headrushes usually happen if you stand up after sitting down for a long period of
time. Your field of vision shrinks temporarily, and it looks like you're blacking out, but it only makes you dizzy for a few seconds until the feeling wears off.
Headrushes can cause some embarrassment, because they occur on a slight delay, so that you're already far from your
chair when the feeling
kicks in. If there's a table or wall nearby, lean on it for support just in case. Otherwise, just sit down or stand there for a few seconds.
If you are prone to skip meals some days, or don'
t get enough sleep, you are more likely to get headrushes. Frequent headrushes are crazy as
hell, but get old
pretty quickly.

John usually skips breakfast, but he pulled an all-nighter and missed lunch today. Poor bastard got a headrush on his way to Biology and fell over in the hall."
"
Whoa, dude, I just headrushed like
crazy. I need to stop playing TFT for a while, I've been on for like three hours."
