Reply to comment by rorowhat in LPT: If you’re anemic or get headrush when you stand, do a quick squat, going down as low as you comfortably can, and stand back up. Your head will be completely fine in <2 seconds. by micknanuel

I'm no doctor but my doctor told me I just have to be careful. If it's a new condition then it would be worth checking with a doctor in case it points to a problem. See https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/orthostatic-hypotension/symptoms-causes/syc-20352548

Had it since I was a teenager, not really sure if it's anything, just lightheaded if I get up sometimes.

Ive had this condition my whole life and outside of being annoying it's never been an issue. I get bloodwork done every three months and it's never been brought up. I also get my blood pressure taken and its never come up. Ive asked doctors about it because my fainting spells were freaking my wife out, and they said it wasnt a huge deal.

Thanks, that's reassuring. I've never had health issues, aside from this annoying "condition".
