Postural orthostatic Tachycardia syndrome. Aka POTS. It’s a condition I have and it’s horrible. Blood pools to my legs while standing or sitting too long. My heart doesn’t beat like it should so my blood doesn’t pump through my body right. That’s the answer I promise lol have a good day!

Answer:

This condition is called Orthostatic Hypotension

Step-by-step explanation:

Orthostatic hypotension occurs when there is a sudden drop in BP due to a change in a person's position. On moving from sitting to standing, or from lying down to standing, gravity acts on the vascular system to reduce the volume of blood returning to the heart and blood pools in the leg.

Have a nice day
