About Orthostatic Hypotension

Orthostatic hypotension, also known as postural hypotension, is not a procedure but a medical condition characterized by a significant drop in blood pressure when standing up from a sitting or lying position. An Internal Medicine specialist diagnoses and manages this condition through a comprehensive evaluation. The diagnostic process typically involves a detailed medical history, physical examination, and specific tests like the tilt-table test or active standing test to measure blood pressure and heart rate changes upon postural change. Management focuses on identifying and treating the underlying cause, which can range from dehydration and medication side effects to neurological disorders. Treatment strategies are personalized and may include lifestyle modifications, medication adjustments, compression stockings, and increased fluid and salt intake under medical supervision to improve symptoms and prevent falls.
