In the context of hypotension, orthostatic hypotension is the same as postural hypotension.
Postural hypotension
orthostatic hypotension
Postural Hypotension or Orthostatic Hypotension
In my hospital it's called postural hypotension.
Medications that can cause orthostatic hypotension include Tricyclic antidepressants, antipsychotics, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, antihypertensives, diuretics, vasodilators, Levodopa, beta-blockers (heart medications), and blood pressure medications
Postural hypotension
measure blood pressure in supine posture. ask him to stand without removing the cuff measure BP IMMEDIATELY after standing any difference of >20 mm Hg in systoloic bp and >10 mm Hg in diastolic BP is taken as postural hypotension
Go to this site, i have had the same problem. http://www.drdaveanddee.com/hypotension.html
Rise slowly from a sitting or recumbent posture. Postural hypotension occurs when some people stand or sit up suddenly. The effect of gravity causes a sudden decrease in the amount of blood in the brain and the individual may feel dizzy or faint, or temporarily lose vision. But getting up more slowly allows the body to compensate for gravity & eliminates these symptoms.
The prognosis for people who have orthostatic hypotension depends on the underlying cause of the problem.
