Brief Answer:
Can be blood pressure medications

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I think this situation of dizziness while you sit and stand may be related to orthostatic hypotension. Possibly if you are taking diuretics or blood pressure medications may be a cause. Also vomiting, dehydration, fever or drinking alcohol may be a cause of it.

Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
