Q

what is orthostatic hypotension

A

drop in BP with sudden rising

18
Q

S&S of orthostatic hypotension

A

dizzy, fainted, fell

19
Q

what is abnormal in orthostatic hypotension

A

blood pools in veins below heart due to gravity

less blood to heart to pump

BP drops

20
Q

why does orthostatic hypotension occur

A

old (decreased neural and CV response)
ill (decreased intake, sweat w/ fever, dehydration)

21
Q

how do you treat orthostatic hypotension

A

replace fluids and slow to rise
