I recently have been feeling dizzy or kind of off balance/disconnected upon standing. This is new to me. It's almost like a "drugged" feeling but I'm currently not taking any prescriptions at the moment. Does anyone else feel this way? Any idea of the cause?

Absolutely agree
Nothing to ignore for sure ! If it gets any worse, you notice other things like dizziness or change in your vision GO to your doctor.
I'm so sorry but happy July is rushing towards us, you're appointment is too far away.
Do you have this feeling all the time ? Is it only when you stand, watch tv, turn your head !
I am worried for you. Please go to the Hospital if you have any additional issues like a headache or you vomit.
Promise ?
And if it's low you can have dizziness when you stand. To find out, Take (or have someone take) your BP when you have been sitting up for a minute or two. Then stand up and repeat the BP. If it drops more than 20 points (especially systolic; the upper number), you can have what is called Orthostatic Hypotension, which fortunately is not a usually a serious problem.
