A member asked:
I know it's "just" orthostatic hypotension. but how far can i tolerate it, since i always almost faint every time i stand up from sitting/lying down?

One may know or think it is "orthostatic Hypotension" but there are several potential causes that should be considered to avoid what might be a life-threatening episode. For example, does one take BP medication? A visit with the PCP even Neurology Consult might be appropriate at this time.

I was told that I have Orthostatic Hypotension. My question is why does lightheadedness and dizziness only effect me at times but not all the time when standing. I also have problems with my ears feeling full. Could this be part of the problem too?
