Orthostatic : Orthostatic hypotension is a drop in blood pressure that occurs when a person stands up. Its due to a nerve defect, which senses a change in blood pressure and adjusts the tone in your blood vessels to keep your blood pressure up. It can be from decreased blood volume from diuretics, vasodilators, excessive bed rest, dehydration, and neurological disease. Got to your doctor.
