Types/Stages of Orthostatic Hypotension

Orthostatic hypotension can be categorised into the following types:

  • Initial Orthostatic Hypotension: A rapid drop in blood pressure within 15 seconds of standing up, which could be due to nervous system disorders.

  • Delayed Orthostatic Hypotension: A blood pressure drop occurring after 3 minutes of standing, which could be due to age-related changes in the cardiovascular system.

  • Postprandial Orthostatic Hypotension: A decrease in blood pressure after eating, particularly large meals.

  • Secondary Orthostatic Hypotension: This form arises due to underlying conditions such as diabetes and neurological disorders or induced by certain medications or dehydration.

Symptoms of Orthostatic Hypotension

Some common symptoms experienced by individuals with orthostatic hypotension include:

  • A feeling of light-headedness or dizziness when standing up

  • Sudden fainting or syncope due to a sharp drop in blood pressure

  • Blurred or blackened vision as a result of reduced blood flow to the eyes

  • Feeling weak or fatigued, especially when changing positions

  • Instances of confusion or difficulty in concentrating

Tests to Diagnose Orthostatic Hypotension

  • Orthostatic Vital Signs Measurement: Measuring blood pressure and heart rate in different positions such as lying down, sitting, and standing.

  • Tilt Table Test: Evaluating changes in blood pressure and heart rate in response to changes in body position.
