What Causes Weakness In Legs Upon Standing?

sometimes, not all the time, my legs feel very weak when i stand up. Not necessarily after sitting for a long time. It goes from my waist down to my feet. This started about 2 weeks ago and i have experienced it about three times. Its almost like my legs are asleep but it s not tingly. What should i do?
