COMMON SYMPTOMS -

BIOLOGICAL REASON -
Gravity causes blood to accumulate in the legs and abdomen when getting up from a sitting or lying down position. Less blood is returning to the heart, which lowers blood pressure.
Near the heart and neck arteries, specific cells called baroreceptors typically detect this dropped blood pressure. The brain receives impulses from the baroreceptors. The heart is instructed to beat more quickly and pump more blood, which balances blood pressure. Additionally, these cells cause blood arteries to narrow and blood pressure to rise.
CAUSES -
- Dehydration
- Endocrine problems
