Debbie, Just what I was thinking. Yen, have your father checked for orthostatic hypertension. His blood pressure should be checked when he is (1) lying down (2) sitting and (3) standing. His problem might be a result of BP being quite high when he is reclining and then dropping sharply when he stands up. There are medications to control this problem.
