Brief Answer:
It is all about adjustment to different altitudes...

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

The changes in altitude above the sea level is the cause. The body will take some time to reset reflexes that control blood pressure as we change positions. Please, exercise some patience and all will be okay. for now, avoid changing positions rapidly......make smooth transitions to avoid such symptoms.

I wish you well. feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
