A member asked:
Does postural hypotension always relates to low blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Postural hypotension means, by definition, that the BP falls when you assume an upright posture. The starting BP isn't necessarily low. For instance, supine BP could be 200/100 and with standing, BP might fall to 160/70: this is also postural hypotension.
