Postural issues?: As described, you appear to have some sort of postural issues, such as Low blood pressure possibly occuring with the change of your body posture. Dehydration or inadequate "fluid status" can be an issue so be sure to stay well hydrated. See a Dr. and get a Good exam with serial BP checks lying, sitting, and standing to properly diagnose you.
