Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related ortostatic hypotension. I would recommend to use vitamin B12 supplements and drink a lot of liquids.
I also recommend eating small meals frequently. If the symptoms continue you should see a cardiologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
