You might have your pcp look into this too. Its called ortho hypotension.

I'm Getting ready to have a tilt table test. My blood pressure goes down
when I stand up. And up when I'm sitting or laying down. THis seems
to be what is normal.

ONe of the first things they do, is have you wear the support hose, which
I started wearing for leg and feet swelling. And then this started.

So its really got my pcp baffled. I'm also to make sure I drink lots of water,
and eat lots of salted things. Which is hard the salted things, I hate salt.

But I'm being good, and I really upped my salt intake a lot. And my water is
doing really good too.
