Low BP and dizziness: You blood pressure, and more important, your pulse change when you stand up. Your pulse increases by about 50% and your BP falls. You may be dehydrated and, if you were, when you blood was taken, you would not have normal labs. I would go to an er and get assessed. Your rapid pulse when you stand could be the sign of some significant fluid volume deficit or some anemia.

Duration: How long have you felt like this ? Any recent illness, like flu, diarrhea, vomiting etc. Your numbers are suggesting that you body is not able to keep up with postural adjustment. Decreased body fluid (volume depletion) is common cause, but there are others. Start with increased fluid intake, electrolyte solution, and see an MD ASAP. if you feel really bad, ER is the way to go.
