Does it indicate a problem if my bp rises upon standing and pulse stays about the same? i just can't get this regulated after stopping bp meds

You are normal: Blood pressure should normally rise with standing, as your brain is at a higher level and blood needs to be pumped harder to fight gravity. As long as you aren't dehydrated, your pulse will normally remain stable.
