Isostatic hypotension, or orthostatic hypotension, is often age-related due to a decline in the body's ability to regulate blood pressure when changing positions. As people age, there can be a reduction in baroreceptor sensitivity, decreased blood volume, and impaired autonomic nervous system function, all of which contribute to a slower adjustment of blood pressure upon standing. Additionally, older adults may have comorbidities or take medications that further exacerbate this condition. These factors collectively increase the risk of experiencing symptoms like dizziness or lightheadedness upon standing.

What are the causes of orthostatic hypotension?
Orthostatic hypotension can be caused by factors such as dehydration, prolonged bed rest, certain medications, autonomic nervous system disorders, and age-related changes in blood pressure regulation. It occurs when there is a drop in blood pressure upon standing up, leading to symptoms like dizziness and lightheadedness.
What is the prognosis for people with orthostatic hypotension?
The recovery is variable and is also dependent on the cause. Recovery varies according to specific health status of affected person, age complications, and comorbidities (other existing disorders).
