How to diagnose orthostatic hypertension

Orthostatic hypertension can be diagnosed by checking blood pressure and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. The analysis is as follows:

1. Check blood pressure. If the

patient changes from lying flat to upright position or within 3 minutes after sitting, the systolic blood pressure value increases by more than 20mmhg, it can be diagnosed as orthostatic hypertension.

2. 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring

Patients can carry out 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring to clarify the law of blood pressure, master their own blood pressure values in sitting, standing and lying positions, and can also assist in the diagnosis of orthostatic hypertension.

Patients need to regularly monitor blood pressure in their lives, followed by active physical exercise, which helps to enhance the neuroregulation of blood pressure and is beneficial to controlling blood pressure.
