Have you experienced light-headedness when you stand up quickly or at night when going to the restroom? Falls are the second leading cause of unintentional deaths, so ensuring that we take a moment upon standing to ensure we have our bearings may help us to aviod becoming a statistic. What is Orthostatic Blood Pressure (also known as Postural Hypotension)? Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a common cardiovascular disorder, with or without signs of underlying neurodegenerative disease. When does it occur? When we stand up fast and get light-headed and/or we get up at night to go to the restroom. Occasional (acute) orthostatic hypotension is usually caused by something obvious, such as dehydration or lengthy bed rest, and is easliy treated. Chronic orthostatic hypotension is usually s sign of another health problem, so treatment varies.
