What are the primary symptomatic differences between orthostatic hypertension and hypotension? thanks!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HYPER AND HYPO: Hyper means elevated, and hypo low - therefore hypertension upon standing means the blood pressure goes up and hypotension means the pressure goes down upon standing.
