Hi,

This doesn't appear a matter of concern, the symptoms of dizziness occurs whenever one stands up BP falls a bit and causes decreased blood supply to brain, leading to dizziness. These may occur commonly in many individuals and also as a side effects of blood pressure med. Also keep monitoring your blood pressure. So in order to prevent these, you need to increase fluid intake and don't suddenly get from sleeping or sitting position, instead do it gradually. If too troublesome then you need to wear compression leg stockings.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
