Orthostatic hypertension is diagnosed by a rise in systolic BP of 20 mmHg or more when standing. Orthostatic diastolic hypertension is a condition in which the diastolic BP raises to 98 mmHg or over in response to standing, [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] but this definition currently lacks clear medical consensus, so is subject to change.
Only continuous beat-to-beat BP measurement during an active standing-up maneuver can document this condition. [32] Classic orthostatic hypotension is frequently characterized by a systolic blood pressure decrease of ≥20 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure decrease of ≥10 mmHg between 30 seconds and 3 min of standing.

Orthostatic intolerance (OI) is the development of symptoms when standing upright that are relieved when reclining. [1] There are many types of orthostatic intolerance. OI can be a subcategory of dysautonomia, a disorder of the autonomic nervous system [2] occurring when an individual stands up. [3]
Half of U.S. adults have hypertension, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), but only two-thirds of them know it. “It’s the No. 1 most common cardiovascular risk ...
A new study of more than 7,000 men and women found a slightly higher risk of developing migraine in women with high blood pressure. Many studies have been done examining the role of migraine in ...
In adults in most societies, systolic blood pressure tends to rise from early adulthood onward, up to at least age 70; [32] [33] diastolic pressure tends to begin to rise at the same time but start to fall earlier in mid-life, approximately age 55. [33] Mean blood pressure rises from early adulthood, plateauing in mid-life, while pulse pressure ...
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a condition characterized by an abnormally large increase in heart rate upon sitting up or standing. [1] POTS is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system that can lead to a variety of symptoms, [10] including lightheadedness, brain fog, blurred vision, weakness, fatigue, headaches, heart palpitations, exercise intolerance, nausea ...
Elevated: 120-129 systolic, less than 80 diastolic. High blood pressure (stage 1): 130-139 systolic or 80-89 diastolic. ... the brain and the kidneys if left untreated."
