Preventing and treating orthostatic hypotension: As easy as A, B, C


Orthostatic hypotension is a chronic, debilitating illness that is difficult to treat. The therapeutic goal
is to improve postural symptoms, standing time, and function rather than to achieve upright
normotension, which can lead to supine hypertension. Drug therapy alone is never adequate. Because
orthostatic stress varies with circumstances during the day, a patient-oriented approach that
emphasizes education and nonpharmacologic strategies is critical. We provide easy-to-remember
management recommendations, using a combination of drug and non-drug treatments that have
proven efficacious.
