A member asked:

If blood pressure goes up a little when standing up rather than dropping, is this a bad sign or autonomic problems? male 22. i heard it drops by 10?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: Often BP does drop a little, transiently at least, upon standing. However, the lack of a drop doesn't mean anything wrong. You are a young, and i assume healthy, male. If you have good muscle tone and development combined with a healthy heart and circulatory system, minimal or no drop in BP would not be unexpected or cause for concern; unless you are having other cardiovascular symptoms.
