Try to get your liquids in and protein in. If its getting worse, I would call your doctor.. Hope you feel better soon!

Speak to your doc sooner rather than later. Dizziness on rising could be low blood pressure and dizziness/ headache could be dehydration. But we ain't docs so get professional advice just to be safe :-)

They put me on a blood pressure medication when I left the hospital because it was elevated, but I had to stop taking it because it dropped my blood pressure too low and I'd get dizzy each time I stood up. I'd make sure your blood pressure isn't too low and that you're getting enough liquids/proteins.
