The caffeine might actually be good for you if your blood pressure is low, just not at night before bed. I knew someone who would crash out if they didn't have a strong coffee first thing in the morning because they needed it to boost their bp. The body is a funny thing, things that are bad for it can also be good for it lol... contrary body is contrary.
The seeing stars when you get up from a seat or straighten up from bending forward certainly sounds like low blood pressure to me...though I'm not a medical person (I do live with a paramedic though and have a very strong interest in biology). I hope they can get you sorted out soon, it must be so frustrating and worrying for you.
