Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having Postural hypotension giving this problem.
In this condition whle stand up from sitting or sleeping position, blood pressure suddenly fall and giving lose of balance or vertigo type feeling.
Consult your doctor and get your blood pressure checked during lying, sitting and standing position.
Before walking after sitting or standing position, wait for 1-2 minutes to avoid this feeling.
Ok and take care.
