Been on bed rest on my back for 2 months. will my blood pressure be lower than normal when i sit up now? my normal bp before bed was 118/80.

Bed rest : Yes. If you truly have been supine for that long, I may take your body a while to get used to being upright again and your BP could be low initially.
