That's called orthostatic hypotension.
Bad enough, it can make you completely lose consciousness, which generally causes bad things when it happens standing.
- In mine, and other cases here I'm sure, it's called "a collection of chronic illnesses that cause an enormous amount of pain and other symptoms, that flare up every time you move", but that's good to know anyway, thanks!
- Not only. It’s called Orthostatic Intolerance.
  Which can be a bunch of things, so only a subset of cases include hypotension.
  See: Post-Orthostatic Tatychardia Syndrome (POTS) for example.
  
  I'm pretty sure POTS stands for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.

- Rugby and combat sports (judo, wrestling, muay thai, mma) did a real number on my joints.

I have at least two dents in my skull due to bashing my head after a "get up/lights out" event.
