Answer 3

Answer 4

has to do with gravity. If you do a handstand, blood rushes to your head. When you get up quickly, blood follows gravity.  

Answer 5

When you lie down, your muscles are not doing much, so your body does not need much oxygen.  Your heart rate slows down.  When you stand up, the heart needs to pump harder to get oxygen to your leg muscles, which are now working, and has to put the blood all the way back up the legs and all the way up to the head.  It takes a bit of time for your heart rate to adjust, so for a short time, you have less blood going to your brain than you need, which gives you a few seconds of dizziness.

Answer 6
