A member asked:

2 months of bed rest laying on back. now when i sit up on bed, dizzy headed. even with my head propped up with pillows still dizzy. this normal?!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

YES: This is called orthostasis- a temporary drop in BP when going from a supine ( laying face up ) to an upright position- may be due to prolonged bedrest.
