Whenever i lie in bed all day and i get up a couple times i have ortho. hypotension is this normal? or no?

Postural : Your blood pressure and heart rate may decrease with bed rest. Before standing up after lying down for prolonged periods, sit at the edge of the bed for a couple of minutes to regulate these parameters and this should avoid the postural hypotension. However, if it becomes a daytime event, there are treatments for orthostatic or postural hypotension.
