Hello,
thank you for your question.
i am very sure what your problem is with the detailed information you provided.
You have Orthostatic Blood Hypotention.That is low blood pressure immediatly after chanching position from laying dow to standing. That casuse rapid decrease of blood pressure that afects you brain and you faint and lay down. Propably you hited the head on the floor and that is why you have head ache.
To avoid this problem you should not raise or stand immediatly but first stay in sitting position for few minutes until your body adapts with this position and then you can stand.
Also you should drink a lot of water or liquids during the day so your blood pressure increases. Coffee and cola have cafeine that helps to increase blood pressure.
i hope with this new advice your problem will not occurr again.
