What Causes Unsteadiness And Heaviness In The Head Upon Waking Up?

When I got up to a sitting position from bed this morning, I felt off balance, heavy headed but not dizzy, and had to lie back down. When I got up a little later, same thing happened. I sat on the bed for a short while and the feeling subsided. Later today after being laid back in the orthodontic s chair and then being raised up to a sitting position, it happened again. I have never felt this way until today. What could be the cause? I am a 73 year old female.
