Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having cervical spondilitis giving this problem.
Due to pinched nerve pressure you may get this problem.
Another possibility is likely that there might be having postural hypotension where quick standing from lying down position or vice a versa leads to sudden fall of Blood pressure giving this problem.
Go for x-ray cervical spines and measuring of BP in lying down and standing position.
Go for physiotherapy.
Avoid using pillow under neck while sleeping.
Gate up slowly while lying down position.
Ok and take care.
