Hi there,
Thanks for using HCM.
It looks like you have having postural hypotension.
It occurs when you are dehydrated or have heart problems, hormonal problems or nervous system problems.
If you have these symptoms persistent, then discuss about it with your doctor who would confirm the diagnosis by blood pressure monitoring.
