Upright hypotension can be adjusted by improving lifestyle and increasing transitional movements during position changes. Medications such as midodrine and hydrocortisone can be taken for treatment if necessary.
Treatment of upright hypotension should firstly pay attention to lifestyle adjustment, including reasonable diet, quitting smoking and drinking, eating less and more meals, proper exercise, strengthening physical fitness, and moderately increasing water and sodium intake. Measures to increase the return blood volume such as elastic stockings can be applied, and transitional movements should be increased when changing body position.
In addition, secondary causes should be removed. If it is caused by taking antihypertensive drugs, the dosage can be adjusted appropriately, and Midodrine can be applied to induce arteriovenous vasoconstriction and elevate blood pressure if necessary. In addition, fludrocortisone can be applied to promote sodium reabsorption in renal tubules, increase blood volume, and then raise blood pressure.
When the occurrence of upright hypotension, should promptly seek medical treatment, the above drugs need to be standardized under the guidance of a doctor to avoid delay or adverse effects.
