Chronic lightheadedness and feeling brain isnt getting enough oxygen. tilt table 20 years ago was normal. treated with high salt diet. orthostatics when dizzy today sitting 104/60,hr 63 standing 122/63, 68. is it normal for bp to go up?

Those numbers seems fine with changing from sitting to standing when you have your blood pressure checked within minutes of changing posture. If the lightheadedness or other feelings go away when changing position from standing or sitting to supine position, intracranial hypotension can't be ruled out. Take care!
