About Chronic Orthostatic Hypotension

Chronic Orthostatic Hypotension is a condition characterized by a persistent and significant drop in blood pressure upon standing, leading to symptoms like dizziness, lightheadedness, and fainting. A cardiologist's evaluation for this condition is not a single procedure but a comprehensive diagnostic process. It involves a detailed medical history review, physical examination, and specialized tests like the Tilt Table Test, where the patient's blood pressure and heart rate are monitored while the table is tilted to simulate standing. This assessment aims to identify the underlying cause, which can range from autonomic nervous system dysfunction to medication side effects or dehydration, and to develop a personalized management plan to improve stability and quality of life.

Key Highlights

    Accurate diagnosis of the cause of persistent dizziness and fainting upon standing.Helps distinguish between neurogenic (nerve-related) and non-neurogenic causes of low blood pressure.Guides the development of a personalized, non-invasive management plan often involving lifestyle changes.Can prevent serious injuries from falls caused by fainting spells.Improves daily functioning and quality of life by managing debilitating symptoms.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Recurrent episodes of dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting (syncope) upon standing.
  • Persistent fatigue, blurred vision, or nausea when moving from sitting to standing.
  • Suspected autonomic nervous system dysfunction (e.g., in Parkinson's disease, diabetes).
  • Evaluation after a fall or injury related to a sudden drop in blood pressure.
  • Monitoring of blood pressure response in patients on medications known to cause hypotension.

How to prepare

  • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing for the appointment and potential tests.
  • Maintain normal hydration but follow specific instructions regarding food and drink before a Tilt Table Test.
  • Bring a complete list of all current medications, supplements, and vitamins.
  • Be prepared to provide a detailed history of symptoms, including when they occur and for how long.
  • You may be asked to temporarily stop certain medications before testing, but only under doctor's guidance.

Risks & possible complications

  • During diagnostic tests like the Tilt Table Test, there is a risk of fainting, which is monitored in a controlled setting.
  • Minor discomfort from blood pressure cuffs or intravenous lines used during monitoring.
  • Anxiety or nervousness during the procedure.
  • Very rarely, prolonged fainting during testing could lead to injury, though safety measures are in place.
  • Note: The diagnostic process itself is low-risk; risks are primarily associated with the underlying condition if left untreated.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • There is no surgical recovery; the 'recovery' involves implementing the management plan.
  • Immediately after tests like the Tilt Table Test, you will rest until any dizziness subsides.
  • Follow the cardiologist's prescribed plan, which may include increased salt/fluid intake, compression stockings, and specific exercises.
  • Learn and practice techniques like counter-pressure maneuvers (leg crossing, squatting) to raise blood pressure when symptoms arise.
  • Schedule follow-up appointments to monitor progress and adjust the treatment strategy as needed.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0-1 days (Typically outpatient)
  • checked Expected recovery time: Ongoing management (Symptom improvement can begin within days to weeks of starting treatment)
