Hi guys
I would love some insight on the following
When supine, my blood pressure is normal.
However when sitting diastolic rises to 90, sometimes low 100. And is probably higher when walking.
Question is: Should i be concerned with regards to cardiovascular risk? Are there studies on hypertension in the context of orthostatic intolerance?
My thinking is that the risk is low since I am supine most of the time
I dont really wanna start treatment as I think the high blood pressure is there because of a reason (low blood volume? endothelial dysfunction?)
Thanks
