What happens during the disease - orthostatic hypotension
Orthostatic hypotension is a condition in which a person experiences a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up from a seated or lying down position. this is caused by a decrease in the body’s ability to maintain an adequate amount of blood in the lower extremities upon standing. this can be due to a variety of factors, such as dehydration, medications, endocrine disorders, or neurological conditions. it can also be caused by a decreased ability of the heart to pump or a decrease in the body's ability to constrict its blood vessels.
