The dizziness when you sit up can be explained by ortho static hypotension. It is mostly due to the anti hypertensive meds you are taking, fluid deficit status are more rarely autonomic dysfunction caused by sleep itself. The blood pressure falling transiently when you move again gravity ie. Sudden sitting or standing from sleeping position explains your symptoms. So I recommend to review your medication and try finding the culprit
