Brief Answer:
Information
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
If you got out of bed suddenly after having been lying down for awhile, it may be that your blood pressure was lower and so the needed increased blood didn't rise to your brain quickly enough, causing you to feel light headed. This can happen to people from time to time. It is usually not a problem.
I would not worry about it unless the feeling does not resolve and you continue to have light headedness or vertigo, or other symptoms.
