Hello dear,welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I reviewed your query and here is advise.
It looks like you are suffering orthostatic hypotension. It is defined as a decrease in systolic blood pressure of 20 mm Hg or a decrease in diastolic blood pressure of 10 mm Hg within three minutes of standing when compared with blood pressure from the sitting or supine position.
Check your medication that you may be taking because they may contribute to it.
Also other causes may be
dehydration, heart problems like heart failure, heart attack, bradycardia.



Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
