Check blood pressure: What you have sounds like 'orthostatic hypotension'. When you stand up, blood rushes away from your head and you may get light headed and feel like you're going to 'black out'. First step is to see your primary care doc to get your blood pressure checked. In the meantime, drink more fluids and stand up slowly.
