Hi @Gingergrrl,
I've been reading a very good book entitled the Dysautonomia Project. I would highly recommend it you've not read it yourself. I just ran across this little snippet from the book this morning, and thought I'd pass it on. Thought it might answer (underlined below) the question you posed in this thread title.

Bending over from the waist is a terrible position for us. Although we never pump our hearts dry, with the pooling of the blood we have less circulatory volume. When we bend over, we increase the pressure in the chest, and have less blood volume return to the heart.
When we stand back up the first few heart beats of our hearts don't supply as much blood flow to the brain as the brain wants, so we'll get dizzy. -- Some of the worst motions we can do is ... sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, and anything that involves working above the shoulder level. Why? Because these motions restrict blood flow back to the chest.
