Postural: Probably transient drop in blood pressure. Could be hydration or medication issue. Also nasal congestion can do this.

Postural hypotension: You have postural hypotension when you get up to rapidly from a lying to a standing position? It takes a few seconds before adequate blood flows to the brain giving you a weird feeling.
