The name is orthostatic Hypotension.If you experience dissiness when standing up, this may be the culprit. If you experience dizziness regardless of your position it may be vertigo.

Either way you need to get check out by your doctor so they can get you the help you need.

I, too, have been dealing with it. I’m in physical therapy for it now. Told me, it’s balance and eye movement, and can be an ear blockage.,
