Hello,
It is probably the lowering of your blood pressure after you get up quickly that is causing the faint.
Next time, try to sit for a couple of minutes from laying in order to avoid that.
If the condition repeats after such measures, get an evaluation by your Doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
