Orthostatic hypotension is a sudden fall in blood pressure that occurs when a person assumes a standing position. It may be caused by hypovolemia (a decreased amount of blood in the body), resulting from the excessive use of diuretics, vasodilators, or other types of drugs, dehydration, or prolonged bed rest. The disorder may be associated with Addison's disease, atherosclerosis (build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries), diabetes, and certain neurological disorders including Shy-Drager syndrome and other dysautonomias. Symptoms, which generally occur after sudden standing, include dizziness, lightheadedness, blurred vision, and syncope (temporary loss of consciousness).

Definition: An abnormal condition in which the blood pressure is lower than 90/60 or is low enough to cause symptoms or interfere with well-being.
Alternative Names: Hypotension; Low blood pressure
Considerations: The blood pressure is normally above 90/60 mmHg (millimeters of mercury ). When the blood pressure is too low there is inadequate blood flow to the heart, brain, and other vital organs.
Borderline low blood pressure for one person may be normal for another. The most important factor is how the blood pressure changes from the baseline or normal condition. A fall of 20 mmHg or more from a person's baseline is considered very significant.

Low blood pressure, otherwise known as hypotension, is a condition characterized by abnormally low pressure in blood vessels. When blood pressure is too low, the supply of oxygen that is carried in the blood cannot be effectively distributed throughout the body. Low blood pressure can be caused by many conditions including, but not limited to, bleeding infections , dehydration, heart disease , adrenal deficiency, pregnancy, prolonged bed rest, poisoning , toxic shock syndrome, and blood transfusion reactions. Conditions of the nervous system can also cause low blood pressure including, but not limited to, fright, Shy-Drager Syndrome, Parkinson's Disease , and neuropathy. In addition, certain

OTHER COMPLICATIONS OF SPINAL CORD INJURY: POSTURAL (ORTHOSTATIC) HYPOTENSION
Postural hypotension, also known as orthostatic hypotension, is a condition which results in a decrease in blood pressure when you sit or stand. This can cause "light-headedness" or "fainting". It occurs more commonly when you are first injured, when you are fatigued, or after any illness. You will have an increased tendency for postural hypotension if your level of injury is at T-6 or above, but it can occur in all spinal cord injured individuals. After your spinal cord injury, the blood vessels do not decrease in size, in response to lowered blood pressure, due to the altered function of the autonomic nervous system. Because of this, blood pools in the pelvic region or legs while you are sitting or sanding. Postural hypotension usually occurs when you are initially placed in your wheelchair or on the tilt table. To prevent this, wear elastic hose and an abdominal support. It is also helpful to come to a sitting or standing position gradually. If postural hypotension occurs while you are in a wheelchair, your attendant should firmly grab the handles of the wheelchair and tilt you backward, until your head and neck are nearly horizontal to the floor. This will increase your blood pressure and the "fainting" will quickly disappear. You should then be gradually returned to a sitting position.

Low blood pressure
  • Hypotension is a condition in which the blood pressure (an index of the body's circulatory system) falls below what is considered to be normal. Blood pressure is a relative term that may vary with the patient's age (e.g., lower in infants, 80/40 millimeters of mercury), underlying medical condition, levels of stress, activity, medications and environment.
  • Blood pressure below 90mmHg systolic or 60mmHg diastolic (a drop in blood pressure) that results in symptoms such as dizziness, fainting (especially upon standing), cold extremities and pallor of skin, all point to

Dizzy spells on blood pressure medication
Dizzy spells on blood pressure medication December 9, 2002 Question I have been taking my blood pressure medication as prescribed and my reading is 130/90 most of the time, occasionally it is 120/80. However, recently, I get dizzy and "pass out" very briefly - say for 30 seconds or less - once or more times a day. Is this problem common or a side effect of my drugs?
Answer The first thing that I noted is that your blood pressure is at the level that most doctors prefer. Of course if you have had high blood pressure for a while, your body may take some time to adjust to your "normal" pressures. I'm going to assume your problem is related to a change in posture, and is known as "orthostatic hypotension". We need adequate blood to the brain to provide needed oxygen and glucose for the brain to function properly. When a person with low blood pressure quickly rises from a sitting or lying position the blood to the brain is temporarily reduced. This is because of gravity, and also, perhaps, medications that slow down the heart's response to a change in position by raising the blood flow to the brain. If the brain is deprived of an adequate amount of blood, even for a few seconds, the person may feel light headed, dizzy and may even see spots in their field of vision. As soon as the body responds to the lowered blood pressure everything returns to normal within a minute or less.

Hypotension
Definition
Hypotension is the medical term for low blood pressure.
Description
The pressure of the blood in the arteries rises and falls as the heart and muscles handle demands of daily living, such as exercise , sleep and stress . Some healthy people have blood pressure well below the average for their age, even though they have a completely normal heart and blood vessels. This is often true of athletes who are in superior shape. The term "hypotension" is usually used only when blood pressure has fallen so far that enough blood can no longer reach the brain, causing dizziness and fainting
Causes and symptoms
Postural hypotension is the most common type of low blood pressure. In this condition, symptoms appear after a person sits up or stands quickly. In normal people, the cardiovascular system must make a quick adjustment to raise blood pressure slightly to account for the change in position. For those with postural hypotension, the blood pressure adjustment is not adequate or it doesn't happen. Postural hypotension may occur if someone is taking certain drugs or medicine for high blood pressure. It also happens to diabetics when nerve damage has disrupted the reflexes that control blood pressure. Many people have a chronic problem with low blood pressure that is not particularly serious. This may include people who require certain medications, who are pregnant, have bad veins, or have arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).

Orthostatic hypotension
Definition
Orthostatic hypotension is an abnormal decrease in blood pressure when a person stands up. This may lead to fainting
Description
When a person stands upright, a certain amount of blood normally pools in the veins of the ankles and legs. This pooling means that there is slightly less blood for the heart to pump and causes a drop in blood pressure. Usually, the body responds to this drop so quickly, a person is unaware of the change. The brain tells the blood vessels to constrict so they have less capacity to carry blood, and at the same time tells the heart to beat faster and harder. These responses last for a very brief time. If the body's response to a change in vertical position is slow or absent, the result is orthostatic hypotension. It is not a true disease, but the inability to regulate blood pressure quickly.
Causes and symptoms
Orthostatic hypotension has many possible causes. The most common cause is medications used to treat other conditions. Diuretics reduce the amount of fluid in the body which reduces the volume of blood. Medicines used to expand the blood vessels increase the vessel's ability to carry blood and so lower blood pressure.
