I think I've had this since ever, just got used to it and can feel it coming and I adjust to it. Any issues associated with this?

I'm no doctor but my doctor told me I just have to be careful. If it's a new condition then it would be worth checking with a doctor in case it points to a problem. See https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/orthostatic-hypotension/symptoms-causes/syc-20352548

Had it since I was a teenager, not really sure if it's anything, just lightheaded if I get up sometimes.

Ive had this condition my whole life and outside of being annoying it's never been an issue. I get bloodwork done every three months and it's never been brought up. I also get my blood pressure taken and its never come up. Ive asked doctors about it because my fainting spells were freaking my wife out, and they said it wasnt a huge deal.

Thanks, that's reassuring. I've never had health issues, aside from this annoying "condition".

Look into POTS, it's a condition that contains this symptom and a host of others. There's a great community that can give you insight about it if it fits for you
