Hello,

Tameish many causes for giddiness while standing. Most common causes are like postural hypotension or infection or BPPV or anemia or posterior circulation stroke (stroke in young, very rare) etc.

You have to get it done ECG, chest x-ray, blood pressure checks up in standing and supine position. Holter monitoring and MRI brain may useful.

Please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

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

Take care
