Hello
After reading your medical history, I can say that the drop in your blood pressure could be due to a condition called postural hypotension. This condition leads to fast decrease in blood pressure when you change your position from the setting down postion to standing up position. It can happen same times due to a side effect of some medications. Dont worry about it. It is not a risky condition. When you change your postion or goes out of bed just do it slowly and step wise. This decrease the risk of having it again.
