Orthostatic hypotension – also known as postural hypotension – is a form of low blood pressure.
It happens when the blood vessels do not constrict (tighten) as you stand up from a sitting or lying position.
It can also be experienced as a side-effect of medication taken for Parkinson’s, or when a person is taking anti-hypertensive medications when they are no longer required. Orthostatic hypotension can also be a pointer to a Parkinson’s diagnosis.
A few ways to manage orthostatic hypotension:
• Do not sit or stand or be inactive for long periods
• Prior to getting up, move your toes around and adjust your heels and calf muscles
• Avoid caffeine at night
• Avoid hot foods and drinks
• Request a medication review of the blood pressure medications which you may be taking for hypertension as these may be able to be reduced or ceased.
For more information and to discuss any symptoms you may be experiencing, please contact the Parkinson's NSW Nurse specialists 1800 644 189 and read more on the website https://www.parkinsonsnsw.org.au/orth...
