Hi,

Thanks for your question.
Noted your concern.

This type of symptoms may be due
1) Postural hypotension
Fall in blood pressure after standing from lying down position.
This causes decreased blood supply to brain causing dizziness.
2) Positional vertigo
3) TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack) decreased blood supply to brain.
4) Cardiac arrhythmia

Associated conditions like Diabetes, blood pressure problem, Kidney problems may aggravate condition.

In such a case I may suggest to consult your doctor immediately there is a need for detailed history taking for detailed physical examination. Depending upon it there may be need for following investigations
- Complete blood count.
- Blood sugar levels.
- ECG & 2Decho.
- Holter monitoring.

Hope this helps.
