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 would be Orthostatic hypotension?
I believe that you mean "orthostatic hypotension." Hypertension refers to a rise in blood pressure (BP); while hypotension refers to a drop in BP.Orthostatic hypotension refers to a sharp drop in blood pressure upon standing up from a seated or reclined position. It occurs, because upon standing, blood flow returning to the heart from the legs decreases due to the effects of gravity working against the flow of blood upward to the heart. In a healthy individual, a reflex reaction causes blood vessels (veins) in the lower body to tighten upon standing, increasing pressure in those vessels, and sustaining blood flow back to the heart.In orthostatic hypotension, since blood flow back to the heart is decreased, there is less blood to pump out into the arteries, and thus less pressure in these arteries. Since the brachial artery in the arm is used to measure BP, a marked decrease in BP can be measured when a person with orthostatic hypotension stands.The symptoms of orthostatic hypotension result from a decrease in blood flow to the brain, and can include passing out, which is the bodies most effective defense in this situation. If the patient stands up, blood pressure drops and the brain becomes under perfused, the patient will pass out. Upon passing out, they will resume a horizontal position, and blood flow to the brain will be restored!
Who is most at risk for developing orthostatic hypotension?
The disorder seems more prevalent among the elderly (especially if systolic blood pressure rises) with chronic diseases (i.e. hypertension and/or diabetes).
