A member asked:
What numbers should go up and which should down with your bp and pulse from sitting to standing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Standing: Typically your blood pressure goes down a bit and your heart rate up a bit but it may not be by much if any. Your body has good mechanisms to stabilize this. If the BP drops by too much and/or heart rate goes up too much then you could be dehydrated.
