You have been gardening in a squatting position for 20 minutes. you stand up quickly to answer the phone and feel light headed. after about 10 seconds more you feel fine again. what was the cause and correction of your faint feeling?

Orthostatic hypotension? That means that your blood pressure drops upon standing after sitting/laying for a prolonged period of time. That’s my best guess
