I am 20 years old. Whenever I wake up after sitting or lying down for a long time, there is darkness in front of my eyes, and I feel dizzy, and it also gets better in few seconds. Why?

It can be because of orthostatic hypotension also called postural hypotension. It is a form of low blood pressure that happens when you stand up from sitting or lying down. Orthostatic hypotension can make you feel dizzy or lightheaded, and maybe even cause you to faint. Dehydration is the most common cause. Drink plenty of fluids in the form of water, aam panna, narial pani, bel sharbat, chaach, shikanji etc.
