A member asked:
Have postural orthostatic tachycardia when i stand up my bp goes up a tiny bit but i still go light headed a few seconds? how if my bp didn't drop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It did: It is likely that during the few seconds you experienced light-headedness, your blood pressure did drop. It is nearly impossible to measure it that quickly.
