This sounds like orthostaic hypotension. It is basically standing up faster than the autonomic nervous system can respond by increasing blood pressure. In some cases, it is due to a vitamin B-12 deficiency.
As others said, when you get up from lying down, sit for a moment and wait for your blood pressure to catch up.
I had this happen and ended up on the floor with a thud.
