What Causes Dizziness When I Stand Up?

over the last few months i have been feeling dizzy when i stand up . It was ok if not a little annoying but now I have to grab onto anything to stop myself from falling over and I have to say this is getting a little scary now. I do not jump up so it is not a rush to the head any ideas thankyou
