AnnotationPostural hypotension (PH) is a relatively common condition that particularly affects older people. Symptoms associated with PH include dizziness, feeling light-headed, visual disturbances and syncope. PH may thus be a transient or a long-term feature, depending on the underlying cause. This article aims to raise awareness of the condition, and to give practical advice for its treatment. (RH).
