Occasional Dizziness While Sitting Up From Sleeping, Standing Up, Moving Quickly. Circulation Problem?

I am an adult male 55 years old, in good health.
Recently however, I have been noticing that I am dizzy or light headed " occassionally " .
I first noticed the symtoms when I sit up from sleeping, and then stand up.
Also, on another occassion, the same symtoms as stood up / moved quickly and or looked up
while at work. ( I am a General Contractor , carpenter by trade and still work on the job occassionally )

I'm wondering if it's a circulation matter or perhaps something else.

Hi,
From history it seems that at this age you might be having few problems like,
1, postural hypotension,
2,some ear problem,
3.some degenerative changes in cervical spines,
4. some eye problems like refraction of error, developing cataract etc,
5, Cerebro bacillar insufficiency.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
Ok and take care.
