| | Evaluation and Treatment of Orthostatic Hypotension |
 | | Orthostatic hypotension due to autonomic failure occurs in patients with a history of chronic alcohol abuse, but only in association with signs of severe peripheral neuropathy (i.e., absent ankle reflexes and diminished sensation in the calves or thighs and hands). | | | Before a patient with orthostatic hypotension is given any new medication, the benefits of the drug should be carefully weighed against the possible impact of an exaggerated hypertensive response (in the setting of denervation supersensitivity). | | | Symptomatic orthostatic hypotension develops as a result of inadequate peripheral vasoconstriction. |

| | Therefore, a person with orthostatic hypotension may experience dizziness, changes in vision, and an uncomfortable feeling in the head and neck area upon rising from a lying or sitting position. | | | Many women experience what is called orthostatic hypotension or prostural hypotension. | | | The outside temperature may also play a role in inducing orthostatic hypotension, so staying aware of the heat outside can help in avoiding this condition. |

| | Postural (Orthostatic) Hypotension |
| | Postural hypotension, also known as orthostatic hypotension, is a condition which results in a decrease in blood pressure when you sit or stand. | | | You will have an increased tendency for postural hypotension if your level of injury is at T-6 or above, but it can occur in all spinal cord injured individuals. | | | After your spinal cord injury, the blood vessels do not decrease in size, in response to lowered blood pressure, due to the altered function of the autonomic nervous system. |

| | Orthostatic hypotension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Orthostatic hypotension (also known as postural hypotension and, colloquially, as head rush) is a sudden fall in blood pressure that occurs when a person assumes a standing position. | | | Some drugs that are used in the treatment of orthostatic hypotension include fludrocortisone (Florinef), erythropoietin and midodrine. | | | The prognosis for individuals with orthostatic hypotension depends on the underlying cause of the condition. |

| | We measured peripheral blood flow and venous pressure in the arms and legs using venous plethysmography. | | | This may be sufficiently rapid that there is not sufficient time for neurovascular compensation and blood pressure falls. | | | However, the experience of transient hypotension often associated with the symptom of lightheadedness with standing is common among teenagers and is familiar to pediatricians. |

| | Orthostatic hypotension |
| | Orthostatic hypotension is a rapid and sudden decrease in blood pressure that occurs when a person changes position, such as rising from a sitting or lying position to standing, or when standing motionless in one position. | | | When a person sits up or stands up, the body adjusts the way it pumps blood to maintain blood flow to the brain. | | | Most people do not have orthostatic hypotension symptoms when they change position. |

| | Orthostatic Hypotension - |
| | The most likely cause of your 'blackouts' is a condition called postural hypotension. | | | When you go from lying down to standing up, your blood pressure drops very low, probably because your nervous system is a bit slow in telling your heart and blood vessels to work harder in order to pump your blood around against the effects of gravity. | | | Waking up with a low blood sugar can aggravate hypotension, and may be the actual cause of your blackouts. |
