Specializes in Phlebology

Postural orthostasis: A cardiologist needs to start managing you and in the interim, you should keep yourself well hydrated, perhaps take salt tablets and be careful when you stand up. Always sit for a minute when you awaken in the morning as opposed to jumping out of bed.
