Primary orthostatic hypertension: A case report and literature review

Abstract

Orthostatic hypertension (OHT) is a sudden elevation in blood pressure after standing, which is clinically easy to ignore. Most of these OHT patients do not have characteristic manifestations of hypertension and are often diagnosed during physical examination. Most of the blood pressure increase in OHT patients is due to diastolic blood pressure, and the fluctuation is large. An adult patient with OHT was diagnosed and treated, and possible underlying mechanisms were analyzed.
