Hello,
Orthostatic (postural) hypotension is a condition to consider in your case. It is necessary to measure your blood pressure in different body positions (lying, sitting and standing). Tilt table tests also may be necessary. Discuss with your Doctor for these issues.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
