Yeah, it's fairly normal. I've had it since long before I was a LCer. It's more noticeable when I'm actively restricting/losing weight, any time I've drastically cut processed foods (ie salt) and at TOM when I'm rapidly losing all of the water weight I put on at PMS time. I've just gotten used to getting up slowly, all the time, just to be safe.
It has multiple contributing factors like the salts/electrolytes, but in general, it's low blood pressure. It's known as orthostatic hypotension if you want to google it. Your blood pressure might have been normal at last check, but it varies, and standing up suddenly can really make it dip.
