Brief Answer:
nothing much to worry!

Detailed Answer:
Hi




May be your son has mild postural hypotension.

His BP should be checked in lying and upright postures.

Hope mild anemia was ruled out by the blood tests.

Better for him to sit for a few second on the bed before he stands up from the bed.


Good luck



God bless
