Lightheaded when getting up

 I think it's been about 5 days when I started noticing that I'm lightheaded when I get up from the lying position in the morning.   Although mainly it's in the morning, I noticed couple nights ago when I was reading in bed and got up to pee when I had the same sensation.  Had read that often times the blood pools at your feet and causes a drop in blood pressure but I took my BP after pee and it was high.  And most mornings it happens when I sit up and not standing out of bed yet.  Something to keep an eye on.  BP been kinda high lately, I think it's because I haven't been eating much fruit/veggies and got tired of the lemon water/celery juice thing.  Too much work.  Also been working more and its hot.  Feeling lazy and don't want to cook.  Need to start eating better again.  


UPDATE:  Went down to SD on Aug 12 to see Baba and I've been better since.  Dunno if it reset my equilibrium going down to sea level.
