What is Orthostatic Dysregulation?
Orthostatic dysregulation (OD) is a general term that describes abnormal blood pressure changes triggered by sitting up or standing, most commonly resulting in low (orthostatic hypotension) or, less commonly, high blood pressure (orthostatic hypertension). OD is most common in the elderly, and can be due to certain medications (e.g. anti-depressants and anti-hypertensives), certain diseases affecting the nervous system (e.g. diabetes, Parkinson disease, multiple sclerosis), and can be seen in certain sleep disorders.
Typical Symptoms of Orthostatic Dysregulation
Fatigue that is worst in the morning
Losing consciousness
Dizziness
Feel unsteady or floating when I am standing
Feeling lightheaded or fainting after passing urine or stool
Dizziness when standing or after prolonged standing
Headache
Sensation of imbalance as if floating when at sea
Doctor's Diagnostic Questionson Orthostatic Dysregulation
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
Do you feel more tired in the morning?
Have you temporarily lost consciousness?
Are you currently dizzy?
Do you feel dizzy or floaty when standing?
Did you feel dizzy or faint after using the bathroom?
Treatmentof Orthostatic Dysregulation
Treatment aims to restore normal blood pressure. The simplest method is to sit back down if symptoms occur and stand up slowly. For OD caused by specific diseases, treatment of those diseases can control symptoms. Other lifestyle changes like maintainin hydration, reducing alcohol intake can help.
