Hello,

One of the common causes that may lead to syncope is postural hypotension or lowering of the blood pressure as you get up or change the body position. It is evaluated correctly with continuous blood pressure monitoring (Holter) or tilt table test. Discuss with the Doctor these issues.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
