Orthostatic hypotens: Pressure drop with change in position like standing up from sitting or lying position is called orthostatic hypotension. After an accident if there is blood pressure drop could be from blood loss or the initial high BP from pain or anxiety might have dropped down with return of normal condition. These are all assumption from the minimal information provided. Talk to you doctor who is treating
