Orthostatic hypotension has many possible causes. The most common cause is medications used to treat other conditions. Diuretics reduce the amount of fluid in the body which reduces the volume of blood. Medicines used to expand.
There is no way to prevent orthostatic hypotension, since it is usually the result of another medical condition.
The prognosis for people who have orthostatic hypotension depends on the underlying cause of the problem.

What you were experiencing, in doctor speak, is orthostatic hypotension, a sudden drop in blood pressure. Normally, blood vessels constrict to maintain blood pressure and compensate for changes in position, but in some cases the blood vessels don't compensate and, when you stand up, the blood doesn't go to the brain. Basically, the reflexes of the body don't catch up with the blood vessels.
I have POTS, and nobody has ever told me I could die from it...so Im gonna say No.
In the cardiogenic shock, blood circulations slows down to various parts of the body, including the brain. You have a center that controls vomiting in your brain, it is in your medulla oblongata, and this decrease in blood circulation caused by cardiogenic shock also affects the region where that vomiting center is, with this it will be activate and nausea will arise.Source: i researched physiology documents because hypotension causes nausea, and i believe the mechanism is the same.
