Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to low blood pressure or orthostatic hypotension. For this reason, I would recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure values in sitting and standing up position. I recommend taking a lot of rehydration solutions and water. If this situation persists, I would recommend going to the ER for a physical exam, a complete blood count for anemia and blood electrolytes for possible imbalance.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
