If you feel dizziness just when you rise from bed , it is most probably postural hypotension. Common cause is either you are taking very less salt in body or your heart is not pumping with adequate pressure. I advice you to check your bp in lying down position and than when you get up. See if the difference is more than 10. You need to see a cardiologist than.
