Salt & Water: Orthostatic (postural) hypotension may be caused by many things, including, but not limited to, dehydration, anemia, certain medications & autonomic nerve problem. If your child is otherwise healthy, and without any heart or kidney issues, the best way to treat this condition is by drinking lots of fluids & increase salt intake, especially during illness & when exposed to heat. Avoid dehydration.
