That's called orthostatic hypotension.
Bad enough, it can make you completely lose consciousness, which generally causes bad things when it happens standing.

Which can be a bunch of things, so only a subset of cases include hypotension.
See: Post-Orthostatic Tatychardia Syndrome (POTS) for example.

Post-orthostatic (after standing up) vs Postural Orthostatic (when standing up in an upright posture) sometimes get mixed in my foggy brain.
