The safest technique might be to slowly titrate to lower doses of sugar and caffeine instead of going cold turkey, particularly if you have a long history of sugar and caffeine use. You will probably also need to wait a few weeks from your original baseline before assessing the impact of your new diet. Synapses and more will need to adjust to their new environment.

What you are describing is orthostatic hypotension and is somewhat common in otherwise healthy people. Though it can be a sign of some medical coditions so getting it checked out is advisable, perhaps get a second opinion?
(If your blood pressure is on the low side raising it will likely help, but obviously consult with a doctor)
The more aware I am of my diet and how nutrition affects my body, I find the more sensitive I become to changes.
I cut coffee, bread, sugar, and beef/pork. I would eat very nutritious meals, and my energy levels and body felt amazing, but the stand up and be dizzy became more common.
Was I going through withdrawal? Is my body to accustomed to eating these foods? Should my theory be, "sugar and bread is ok as long as I eat other nutritious meals?"
I'm not sure, I'm still experimenting, and I'm utilizing the final month of my insurance with my parents to figure this out.
