I want to know what is orthostatic syncope? |
I want to know what is orthostatic syncope? That means losing consciousness when you stand up suddenly. There can be many causes of this, from Anemia to Dehydration, etc. Read this: When you sit up real fast ...your blood pressure doesn't always catch up and your brain doesn't get the circulation it needs so you get dizzy. Some people have serious blood pressure problems and this syncope can be a sign of heart failure of some kind...It can also occur if you are dehydrated. It is all about hemodynamics. A drop in systolic blood pressure upon standing of greater than 20 mmHg is define as postural hypotension. That would be when you stand up either from a sitting or lying position, rapidly, and your blood pressure drops (bottoms out) and you pass out. Syncope is a fancy word for passing out. a sudden brief loss of consciousness with loss of postural tone. Faint when you stand up related to a drop in your blood pressure it means you have a "quick change in blood pressure" ......difference between lying down, sitting and standing...........it means your blood pressure medication needs adjusting.... |
