Patient's question:
Grandpa has been suffering from high blood pressure. Recently, he often feels uncomfortable. Can we do the orthostatic test for high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, in general, this situation mainly depends on how the patient has orthostatic hypertension. If the patient has been bedridden for a long time, it may lead to changes in the orthostatic test. Therefore, when standing up suddenly, symptoms such as dizziness may reappear. This is a typical orthostatic hypertension test, which can be used to infer changes in the condition.
