hello dear,i understand your concern.In my opinion there might be sudden lowering of BP due to prolonged standing or low HB ie., anaemia or low sugars or hypoglycemia.So i suggest you to get HB investigation done to rule out anaemia and BP check up done.Take adequate fluids upto 3 litres daily and food in small quntities every 2 hrly to avoid low sugars.Dont worry.Avoid physical strain in pregnancy and prolonged standing.
