What do you call when a person stands up too quickly and his blood pressure drops?

Answer 1

During rest,the blood pressure drops to a minimal level. When one stands up from a supine or sitting position,the effect of gravity tends to work on the circulation such that the blood in the upper extremities rapidly flows to the lower extremities thus there is an increased pressure in the lower extremities while the upper extremities has low blood pressure thus this account for the low volume of venous return which direcly affect the cardiac output. Decreased cardiac output is dangerious to the vital organs in the body such as heart and brain.syncope may ensue due to low blood flow to the brain.among other features include loss of consciousness,dizziness,myocardialischaemia expressed as angina etc
