has anyone else experienced almost fainting from standing up in one spot for to long?

on 2 occations ive come close to fainting after standing for an hour..i had to sit i couldnt walk, blured vission, dull hearing and dizzy as i fell to the ground. 10min. later i was fine. my doctor says it sounds like my blood is "pooling" to my legs. so i have to drink lots more water and move my legs around, flex the muscles too, if im standing for a while. i just wondered if anyone else has passed out after standing for a long time. i dont get it from bending or siting up fast etc.
