Very good: None of these conditions alone is a threat to your life. Pituitary tumors are more common than you probably think. Many can be controlled with medication alone. Postural hypotension can be helped with plenty fluids or medication from your doctor.

Pituitary tumor: At this point it is important to follow up with your doctor about both of these issues. Your doctor will do blood tests and follow up imaging and may have you see an endocrinologist and neurosurgeon for this.
