Definitions

1. Postural hypotension is a drop in blood pressure after changing position that can result in dizziness or fainting. (Web site)
2. Postural hypotension is a drop in blood pressure (hypotension) due to a change in body position (a change in posture).
3. Postural hypotension (drop in blood pressure associated with change in position) is evident. (Web site)
4. Postural hypotension is infrequently noted upon suddenly assuming an upright position.
5. Postural hypotension is most marked in the morning and is accentuated by hot weather, alcohol, or exercise. (Web site)

Resulting

1. In patients with postural hypotension, this compensating reflex fails to occur, resulting in symptomatic low blood pressure. (Web site)

Certain Types

1. Certain types of hereditary neuropathies can affect the autonomic nerves, resulting in impaired sweating, postural hypotension, or insensitivity to pain.

Confusion

1. Elderly patients liable to experience toxic effects, especially agitation, confusion and postural hypotension.
2. Selegiline should be avoided in patients with known falls, hallucinations, confusion and postural hypotension.
3. Special care is needed in older patients to reduce postural hypotension and confusion.

Dizziness

1. The hallmark of the syndrome is dizziness and fainting when arising or after standing still for a long time (postural hypotension).

Blood

1. When the blood pressure is elevated, postural hypotension may also be present.
2. Blood pressure examination may show a decrease upon standing (postural hypotension). (Web site)

Ecg Changes

1. These ECG changes are seen most frequently in elderly patients as is postural hypotension.

Shy-Drager Syndrome

1. Shy-Drager syndrome may cause postural hypotension. (Web site)

Dry Mouth

1. The autonomic nervous system is affected, which results in dry mouth, postural hypotension, paralytic ileus, and pupillary abnormalities.

Syncope

1. Cardiovascular: bradycardia; heart failure deterioration; postural hypotension which may be associated with syncope; cold extremities.
2. Tilt-Table tests are used to evaluate patients suspected of having postural hypotension or syncope due to abnormal autonomic nerves. (Web site)

Hypotension

1. Their cardiovascular effects include tachycardia, palpitations, hypotension, postural hypotension, and mild bradycardia. (Web site)

Patients

1. Oral diltiazem caused a reduction in resting anal pressure, but was associated with postural hypotension in a number of patients. (Web site)
2. Atomoxetine increases the pulse rate and blood pressure, but some patients will develop postural hypotension. (Web site)
3. Reduced vibration sensation and postural hypotension were present in all the 20 patients studied.

Autonomic Neuropathy

1. Dejgaard A and Hilsted J (1988). No effect of pindolol on postural hypotension in type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients with autonomic neuropathy.

Postural Hypotension

1. Common adverse events for both treatments were sedation, dry mouth, dizziness, postural hypotension, weight gain, ataxia, and lethargy.
2. Postural hypotension - is autonomic neuropathy that results in low blood pressure when standing.
3. Orthostatic hypotension, also called "postural hypotension", is a common form of low blood pressure.
