General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thanks for consulting. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

when you get up suddenly from lying down it takes some times for the body to adjust the blood flow as the blood flow has to be increased for standing than lying down this results in postural hypotention causing fainting.
so there is noting to worry.
so when you get up from lying down better sit of 5 min before standing. this will help similar episodes in the future.

drink plenty of water to avoid postural hypotention.

Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.

Have a wonderful time ahead.


Best Regards!
