You feel lightheaded standing? Have you taken your bp and heart rate sitting and standing? I was bedridden, then in a wheelchair with this. Now I can walk a lot, but in large places, I use a scooter or w.chair. My heart rate climbs if I try to do things like clean or use my arms a lot. Hubby does a lot, but we have house cleaners do the cleaning since he works all day.
You can look at Dinet.org to see if the information helps you.

Hey Sally,
My lightheaded ness will sometimes occur when I stand up, like a head rush but far worse and lasts longer.(effects can last for hours)
If I am already standing, I am generally fine except for foot pain.
I also seem to without any form of exercise become lethargic, sometimes confused, like brain fog I guess.
The only thing I have noticed so far is that when I stand up and have an episode, I feel my left cardiac artery and it is almost non existent. The right cardiac artery seems to function Ok. Do you have any of the weird Raynauds like symptoms in your hands or feet that I mentioned?
