Why do i experience facial flush and high bp when i lay down but bp returns to normal when sitting?

Supine: The heart works harder when you lie flat and this may cause the pulse to increase and blood pressure to rise in some instances. This may be happening to you as you improve on sitting up. However, in many people the BP is lower on lying down.

Pulse is regularly mid-low 50s when sitting or lying down. Had 2 EKGs recently, both came back normal, tho pulse was high during both due to anxiety, not sure if that could impact results. Should I be concerned about the low pulse?
