Postural Hypotension 体位性低血压
- What it is
What is postural hypotension?
Postural hypotension (or orthostatic hypotension) is a drop in your blood pressure when you get up from lying to sitting position or from sitting to standing.
When your blood pressure drops, less blood may go to your major organs and muscles. This may increase your risk of falling.
体位性低血压
体位性低血压（又叫直立性低血压），是由于身体姿势的变化（如从躺卧到坐起或从坐姿到站立）导致血压的下降。血压下降会进一步造成主要器官和肌肉的供血不足， 从而增加你跌倒的风险。
What are the symptoms?
