?hypotension: Your blood pressure likely is dropping when you stand. Can be seen with dehydration, medication side effects, dysautonomia, Parkinson's disease, bleeding internally causing anemia, thyroid issues, recreational drug use, and even associated with edema in legs. Complex, so see your doctor and get this addressed ASAP.
