I'm lightheaded and almost feel like i might fall or drop something if i stand up. is this normal?

No: Sounds like your blood pressure is low. This is most commonly dehydration unless you are on a blood pressure medication. Drink water till your urine turns clear, if this persistent see medical attention.
