Is it normal that this happens after sleep?

Ok, well I have this thing right after I stand up after sleeping or resting. Everytime I stand, my head and vision gets dizzy and then my vision goes black until I can't see anything for a few seconds. Then everything goes back to normal and I do whatever. I told my mom this and said it wasn't normal, but this has happened since I was young so I thought it was. Any answers to this?

    Simply stand up slower. Your blood pressure drops upon standing.

    I'm anemic and this happens to me alot. The doctor doubted that I have a minor ear desease, but it's probably from the anemia. Are you anemic? How tall are you and how much do you weigh?

    Now that I thunk of it this was on a Bill Nye The Science Guy video I watched a couple of years ago. Although, I just stood up slowly and it still happened to me. Do I have to do it so slowly that it takes an hour to get up? lol.

    Lately this has also been happening to me. It happens when I get up when I have been sitting down for a period of time. I guess I just have 24/7 low blood pressure.

    I eat a fair amount of red meat, but not too much.

    This used to happen to me quite often. It might be anemia? I am not sure. It happened to me today when I was out in the garden reaching down inspecting some plants and when I came back up my head got light for a few seconds and my vision almost went black. It was also really hot outside. This one time, I was in walmart, and this happened to me while I was standing up. My vision went totally black for about 5 minutes. I had to sit down on a bench nearby and almost ran into a few people I think. I had drank too much coffee that morning though. That could have had something to do with it. Do you eat a lot of red meat?
