Orthostatic hypotension: dizzy when I stand up

Ma

I had my period which went as it usually does and once it stopped I started getting dizzy almost every single time I go from sitting/laying down to standing. I’m ok the first 1-2 seconds and then I get dizzy and my vision goes to seeing dots for 1-2 seconds and then I’m completely fine until the next time I sit (usually slouching on a couch) and get up.

I know it’s orthostatic hypotension but I am wondering if anyone else experiences this. It’s been over a week of feeling it several times a day and wondering if anyone gets it for long periods of time!
