Low blood pressure upon standing and walking around? what is tern for that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several apply: The most common is orthostatic hypotension, although the phenomenon can be known as vaso-vagal pre-syncope or as neuro-cardiogenic symptoms. When standing upright, blood tends to pool abruptly in the legs decreasing the blood pressure in the brain and producing many uncomfortable sensations.
