Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
You need to get examined by a doctor. Blood pressure should be measured in lying down as well as in standing position. Mainly, we need to rule out postural hypotension- fall of BP when standing. This could make you feel dizzy.
In addition, we need to exclude anemia (low haemoglobin). If found, it can be treated with medications.
You may also require ECG and echocardiogram tests to make sure your heart is normal.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
