How can one get rid of orthostatic hypotension?


WHEN STANDING UP BLOOD STAYS IN LEGS, CAUSING A FAINT FEELING.

You're right about what causes orthostatic hypotension, so it's important not to stand up fast. From a lying position, you should sit slowly, then lower the legs to the floor and wait for your blood pressure to stabilize before coming to a standing position. If you are experiencing this often, you may need to have your blood pressure medication reduced. Be sure to talk with your doc about it. Good luck.
