Hi,
This is called orthostatic hypotension, it is found in some people when standing up, the blood pressure drops. unfortunately, it can not be treated, but you can take care that when sitting down or lye down do not stand up in a quick manner.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
