A member asked:
What is the best treatment for orthostatic hypotension in a teenager?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hydrate: Orthostatic hypotension means a lowering of the blood pressure when standing upright. Assuming a teenager is normal and otherwise healthy, the best way to lessen this issue is to remain well hydrated and stand up more slowly to give the body a chance to accommodate.
