What Causes Dizziness And Fatigue While Treating BP?

I became light headed, cold sweats, overall weakness. lasted about 30 minutes ad was alleviated when I lay down but came back when I stood. I managed to drink some water and seemed to feel better. still a little weak. No chest or shoulder pain although I have had high BP for decades. I am 64 and male. are there other things to look for to help determine what to do if anything. I seems to have passed except for overall weakness.
