Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a condition that occurs when a person's blood pressure drops suddenly when they stand up quickly. The most common symptom of OH is light-headedness, dizziness, or a feeling of faintness. OH can be caused by a number of different medical conditions, such as diabetes, dehydration, heart problems, neurological disorders, and medications.
