Heart rate jumps from low to ~120 bpm when urinating after waking up. been this way for years. is this to counteract drop in bp, or a vagus response?

Counteract to drop: It is called Orthostatic Hypotension. Your blood pressure top one drops 20, bottom one drops 10 and your heart rate goes up to 20.
