Have continued problems with orthostatic hypotension. Happens frequently preventing me from going back to work. Severe dizziness,profuse sweating,feel like I m going to pass out-and do unless I sit down. Post Hearst attack 6 months ago. Cardiologist said its not from heart attack. Just went to Neurologist.

Hello,

Orthostatic hypotension is very temporary phase and it can not be long last it could hardly takes few second after this blood pressure comes to normal, if you take care in position while standing up from sitting or sleeping position then hypotension can be avoided, do not stand up immediately just take little pause wait for few second in between position, on knee position then stand up slowly.
If the symptom long last even after taking proper care then go for Hemoglobin testing, ECHO testing, Spinal column MRI Brain imaging studies.

Hope I have answered your query, let me know for further assistance.
