At the regular, Wednesday, December 14th virtual support group meeting, the speaker was:
Mitch Miglis, MD, autonomic specialist, Stanford Neurology.
He described what causes the sign of orthostatic hypotension, how the sign manifests, and treatment (both pharmacological and non-pharmacological). There were lots of good questions from attendees.
Dr. Miglis shared this "orthostatics log," for tracking blood pressure at home . The basic measurements are taken lying flat and then after standing in place for 3 minutes. Measurements should be taken at different times of day.
