HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The fact that you experience dizziness when you stand may indicate that you have postural hypotension.

This a fall in the blood pressure on standing.

There are different possible causes but your doctors may consider taking a look at your medication. In some persons it may be due to medication.

In addition, you need to get up slowly, this reduces the chance of dizziness occurring.
You may also want to take a look at the amount of fluids that you use, in some persons inadequate fluids is a cause.

If it is not related to your fluids or medications, your doctors may consider investigations to determine the cause.

I hope this helps
