In medicine, orthostatic hypotension is "a significant drop in blood pressure after assuming a standing position. Orthostatic hypotension is a finding, and defined as a 20-mm hg decrease in systolic pressure or a 10-mm hg decrease in diastolic pressure 3 minutes after the person has risen from supine to standing. Symptoms generally include dizziness, blurred vision, and syncope."[1]
Orthostatic hypotension is an orthostatic intolerance along with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS)[2][3] and vasovagal syncope.
Causes
Baroreflex failure may cause labile hypertension with hypotension.[4]
Carotid endarterectomy of the internal carotid artery may be a cause.[5][6]
However, orthostasis may be improved by endarterectomy[7] if there is "vasodepressor-type carotid sinus syndrome caused by compression of the carotid baroreceptors by atherosclerotic plaques."[8]
