Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your son is having orthostatic hypotension. If you get up from the bed quickly blood gets pooled in the legs and does not reach the brain leading to a sudden fall in blood pressure. This leads to sudden fainting, blurred vision, and dizziness. While getting up from the bed, sit at the bedside for a minute or two and then get up slowly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Sood
