Abstract

Overall management of these hypotensive conditions includes pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments. Avoiding factors or triggers like sudden postural or positional change, large meals, hot shower, and alcohol forms part of the treatment and definitely the initial management of these conditions in different studies. The outcomes include blood pressure readings and time to symptoms and time to recovery. In this chapter, the potential benefit of non- pharmacological and relatively safe strategies will be discussed in detail.
