Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your query.
I think I can help you.
The symptoms are quite suggestive of a orthostatic hypotesion.
Try following measures.
1. get up slowly from the lying down to sitting position, or from sitting to standing position.
2. wiggle your toes before getting up.
3. watch your fluid and electrolyte balance.
4. Check your bp in lying down position, and then on getting up to standing position, exactly 2 minutes after standing up.
Let me know the 2 reports of bp.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible.
Please feel free to ask a further clarification.
Best of luck
Dr Mittal
