I think Nat's right - it's almost certainly a drop in blood pressure. Its something I've had for ever, because my normal blood pressure is always fairly low (110/60 - practically dead). It may be that from losing weight and vigourous exercise you've reduced your normal blood pressure. Then, when you stand up quickly your blood pressure drops quickly. I believe the name for this is orthostatic hypotension, and it's pretty common. The only other thing I would say is are you on any medications? Lots of meds can cause this, not just anti-hypertensives.
