Dizzy spells?...?

For a few years now I've been haveing these scary episodes where I black-out for a few minutes or so.
Like first I'll notice my body feels like it's starting to get really really hot and then it gets hard for me to stand as my legs go numb on me - so I have to get down on the ground before I fall. My vison also goes black . at first it's like white dots fill up my eyesight but then my vison will go to total darkness (one time that part lasted for a really long time). Then after all this stuff gets over with (which sometimes takes a while), but afterwards my body feels really cold like a cold sweat, then that too fades away.
Sometimes it happens when my period comes around, but other times it doesn't. Like hear recently it's been happening a lot, and I don't know what it is/or why it's been happeinging to me.( I just wish I could go to the doctors and find out what's wrong with me, but I can't - since I don't have my health insurance YET. )I don't know. What do u think?

Financial Assistance and Other Resources for People With Cancer:Cancer imposes heavy economic burdens on both patients and their families. For many people, a portion of medical expenses is paid by their health insurance plan. For individuals who do not have health insurance or who need financial assistance to cover health care costs, resources are available, including Government-sponsored programs and services supported by nonprofit organizations. Cancer patients and their families should discuss any concerns they may have about health care costs with their physician, medical social worker, or the business office of their hospital or clinic.
This is about FREE hospitalization, if you need it and they WILL help you!

In 1946, Congress passed a law that gave hospitals, nursing homes and other health facilities grants and loans for construction and modernization. In return, they agreed to provide a reasonable volume of services to persons unable to pay and to make their services available to all persons residing in the facility’s area. The program stopped providing funds in 1997, but about 300 health care facilities nationwide are still obligated to provide free or reduced-cost care.

Hey, I don't know why this is happening to you and it is doesn't sound like vertigo. Or any dizziness I have ever heard of.Vertigo is where you feel like you or the room is literally spinning. Sometimes people will say lightheaded or dizzy when they mean that they feel more like they are floating or such.My more immediate concern for you is getting you to a doctor to make sure you are okay. So, I would first ask myself...how close am I to gettting insurance? and Two, can I afford to go to somewhere like an instacare now to find out if it is anything I should worry about versus a long hospital stay if it turnes out to be something that is now out of control.Keep in mind that sometimes illnesses when caught early are easily treated...but, if left untreated can blow up into something very nasty.
could be a seizure either epilepsy or a brain tumor, this is serious and you should not be waiting. Ask your parents for help.
