Postural Hypotension?


Help! I have postural hypotension and I feel faint after standing for around an hour, which is also a big part of my job...
So far I - try to eat well, rest b4 work, wear knee length TEDS stockings (should I wear thigh length???) and have adjusted my antihypertensives with doc as much as I can... Any other ideas/input?
Thanks! Pete

get up from laying down or sitting position very slowly. if you feel dizzy or lightheaded, sit or lay back down to get more blood to your head
