It is most likely BPPV if it happens when you are moving. Google BPPV and then do the recommended exercises. It should get better.

In some people, the autonomic nervous system doesn't regulate blood pressure and other bodily functions the way it should under certain situations like standing up. This condition is referred to as postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (more info available at http://www.dinet.org/), a form of dysautonomia (meaning a disfuction in the autonomic nervous system).
If this happens frequently, it is definitely worth checking with your doctor to see if something else is going on. In severe cases, a drug such as Florinef can be given to help the body to regulate the blood pressure properly. But, if you're not actually blacking out or fainting, it's probably nothing serious.
Simple lifestyle adjustments can help, such as reducing caffeine intake and exercising regularly. Also, standing up more slowly may help.

I just found this wonderful article on the problem you are having. Go to Google and type in Dizzy Spells, the first article will tell you what is wrong. Which is nothing this is normal, especially if you are sitting where it is warm. It is a good idea for you to stay cool and have plenty of cold water available during these instances, that is what helped me.

Well really it could be nothing. Everybody has dizzy spells when they get up to fast because all the blood rushes and then you get dizzy. On the other hand something could be wrong. I used to get dizzy often and then i would pass out but since you aren't passing out you should be fine. Im sure it is nothing to worry about.

If you are a teenager, it happens a lot and is nothing to be worried about. You'll outgrow it.
But make sure you're drinking enough water and eating right: Sometimes vertigo (which you described) indicates mild dehydration or malnutrition.

Check and see if you have high blood pressure. Good luck
