Get orthostatic BP: Orthostatic blood pressure measurement is when a trained RN will check your BP and pulse in lying, sitting and standing positions. Sudden DROP in blood pressure might drop the blood circulation transiently to your Brian. Medication and certain medical conditions can do this. But the first step is to check orthostatic BP .
