A member asked:
I just ate dinner. sat down on the couch for about 5 minutes and when i stood up and walked to my kitchen, i almost passed out. my heart started pounding and i made it back to the couch before it could happen. could this be postprandial hypotension?

Could be. Repeat tomorrow and measure BP at start of meal, then end of meal and then after you walk same place duration. Share with your Dr.
