Welcome @happybears2525, I think the fact that you mentioned you feel better when you get up and walk around is a good sign. I'm not a doctor but I think the answer to your question - Does lack of exercise and prolong sitting make blood pressure lower? is no according to this article:

I think it's a really good plan to see a doctor and discuss your concerns and possible things you can do that might help. Major stress and anxiety along with a history of anemia, low vitamin D and other factors are definitely something to be concerned about. Do you already have an appointment setup?

The statement you made about going to the doctor is Correct. There are any number of conditions that might be causing your problem, but I have one suggestion until you see the doctor. The next time you think your blood pressure is low, dampen your finger and place it in some salt. Then put that amount of salt on your tongue and swallow. This is frequently enough to raise your blood pressure and avoid the fainting. Good luck
