Im a teenager with orthostatic hypotension do i need to see a doctor??
Question: it can be annoying sometimes when im with my friends and all of a sudden i fall down or my vision gets blurred so i can't see well enough to walk. but besides that, medically, is there a reason for me to see a doctor? i mean i dont find it serious....ive had it for years.
Answers: .... um, if you are feeling dizzy and fainting a lot then yes.....
but orthostatic-hypotension isnt a disease, dear..... LOL it's simply the medical term for that feeling of dizziness you get after standing up to quickly after a period of laying or sitting down ..... due to a slight drop in blood pressure which causes the momentary dizziness and seeing spots....... LOL
HYPERtension = High blood pressure
HYPOtension = low blood pressue
Everyone experiences orthostatic hypotension every once in a while ........
I've had headaches accompanied with dizziness and momentary vision impared (as not in seeing 'spots' but in not being able to see at all for several minutes (at least 7-10 minutes) straight... that i asked a Q on and referenced this as a means of somewhat desribing what it was i was feeling...... but in an of itself, the referenced terminology (orthostatic-hypotension) is not a disease LOL..... it's just the medical word to explain the drop in blood pressure accompanying this feeling> i'm sure what i'm going thru has a lot to do with dehydration and purposeful lack of proper nutrition for years and years and years...... but this is something different.
If you are getting headaches and feeling dizzy, perhpas your blood sugar is low. (im 'hypoglycemic') so i'm sure OD'ing on the sugar doesnt help LOL..... but if you are getting headaches and feeling dizzy and such, drink water, eat something solid and (make sure you're eating properly)etc............. and if it the getting dizzy and such continues and really concerns you, go see a doctor. It could be something else entirely that this is a symptom of.....
Yes, you should go to a doctor. Falling down and having blurred vision are very dangerous symptoms. If you were crossing the street and you fainted, you could get hit by a car. In fact if your blood pressure gets too low, you could die.
Yes, it is not normal for a teenager to have orthostatic hypotention. You need to find out what is causing this. You could have an unknown heart condition.
