Can you have orthostatic HYPERtension? -

These are my stats and it happens everytime - Is there a name for this? (I am already on 2 BP meds) Supine 103/69 HR 60 Sitting 117/83 HR 57 Standing 120/90 HR 56 The diastolic is my concern Do I need to tell my Dr. or is this normal

There are suggestive theories that people with essential hypertension have the reverse of what you would expect to see with orthostatic hypotension, that is postural hypertension, in which BP paradoxically rises when one stands up. Try this next time, before taking the standing reading; wait two or three minutes. Also, your diastolic pressure of 90 is indeed worrisome. You should discuss this with your doctor, and ask if you need to be put on a diuretic, or have its dosage increased. Good luck. Ralph

lol, looks completely normal. Blood vessels constrict to maintain B/P when you stand up.

This is a normal pattern: BP is highest when standing, lowest when lying down, and intermediate when sitting. The reason is gravity - the greater the vertical distance between the lowest and highest parts of your body, the more your heart has to pump.
