Dear patient, Thanks for the query. Orthostatic hypotension is a condition in which the blood pressure drops and the heart rate increases as a response to position changes, such as bending over or standing from a sitting position. It is increasingly common in patients who take medications for blood pressure. It tends to be benign, and the recommendation is to make those position changes very slowly, and if symptoms develop, try to sit down as soon as possible and cross the legs and arms to increase blood pressure. Hope this helps, wish you the best, Dr Brenes-Salazar MD Mayo Clinic MN Cardiology
