What is the prognosis for a patient with orthostatic hypotension?
The prognosis for a patient with orthostatic hypotension depends on the underlying cause. In some cases, treating the underlying condition can improve or resolve the symptoms. However, in more severe cases or if left untreated, orthostatic hypotension can lead to complications such as falls and fainting episodes. Regular monitoring and management are important for improving outcomes.
If you have orthostatic hyphotension how can you get more energy to your brain?
To help increase blood flow to the brain and combat symptoms of orthostatic hypotension, you can try strategies like increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, engaging in regular physical activity, and standing up slowly to minimize sudden drops in blood pressure. These can help improve blood circulation and oxygen delivery to the brain, thus increasing energy levels.
Can you pass out from having had too much blood rushed to your head and then suddenly being right side up?
You're referring to Postural Hypotension and yes -- that scenario is rare but can happen. The exact why of it is not always apparent, but I'd look to the basel-vegas berve plexus for possibilities. This type of passing out occurs mostly during play and doesn't happen with adults all that much ( as we -- sadly -- don't spend too much time on our heads). It's usually harmless, except you need to watch out for falling down and hurting yourself that way.
What could be wrong when you get up too fast and you get dizzy?
THE ANSWER:There IS no problem except for the fact that blood rushes out of your head so quickly that you get dizzy, and in fact may pass out.This happens because your brain needs blood or it will stop working.That's why if you lie down then get up too fast you get dizzy.That is ALSO why your eyes go 3/4ths blank after doing the same thing.Hope this answers your question,Kabob34
If you feel dizzy and everything goes black?
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.
