General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello.

Thanks for writing to HCM.

You seem to have postural hypotension i.e. temporary decrease in the blood supply to the brain due to fall in the blood pressure on standing up from a lying down position.

This may be a result of either an autonomic neuropathy i.e. affection of the nerves due to long-standing diabetes, especially not well controlled. This is difficult to reverse as the damage to the nerves has already been done.

Another possibility is that this is the result of some of your medications. Diabetic patients with kidney disease are commonly prescribed medications which protect the kidney and heart and also cause some degree of lowering of the blood pressure. This may result in postural hypotension sometimes.

Hope this helps. Wishing you good health.

Regards,
Dr Geeta
