Other characters Spontaneous intracranial hypotension, (SIH) a syndrome with reduced CSF pressure that occurs in the absence of dural puncture, surgery or trauma. The pathogenesis is usually considered to be an occult CSF leak through small defects in the meninges with a resultant decrease in CSF volume and pressure. The characteristic headache in SIH is similar to postlumbar puncture postural headache in that it is aggravated by sitting or standing and relieved by lying down. Other associated symptoms, seen less commonly, include stiff neck, nausea and vomiting, diplopia and cranial neuropathies, producing vertigo, tinnitus, photophobia and changes in hearing. CSF may be normal or reveal increased protein, xanthochromia or lymphocytic pleocytosis. By definition, the CSF pressure in SIH is low (less than 60 mm H O) and may be unobtainable via lumbar puncture, the so-called dry tap. Treatment options for intractable headache in SIH are similar to those for postdural puncture headache and include bed rest, analgesics, sedatives, oral caffeine, intravenous hydration, epidural blood patch and epidural saline infusion. The usual clinical course of SIH in most patients is spontaneous resolution over a period of weeks to months. The diagnostic intracranial imaging findings include diffuse, intense pachymeningeal enhancement on post contrast T1-weighted sequences (

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome Patient's report on causes, symptoms, and treatment This Web page represents a patient's report on POTS and related issues. Patients should seek professional medical help and only use the contents of this page as general background information. Patients diagnosed with chronic orthostatic intolerance, POTS or COI, please note the National Institute of Health is conducting a new study and needs blood samples. Tachycardia means an extremely rapid heart rate, usually signified by a pulse rate of over 100 beats per minute (bpm). Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is clinically defined as a heart rate increase of 30 bpm or more from the supine (laying down) to the standing position within ten minutes or less. Patients with florid POT S develop tachycardia over 120 bpm within 5 minutes or less. Some patients experience supine tachycardia, which is usually transient in nature and often accompanied by sleep disturbances. Studies show that about 75% of POTS patients are women and that a genetic tendency to develop POTS is usually transferred from mother to daughter. For a correct diagnosis of POTS there must be an absence of any other known cause of tachycardia, such as a specific heart

Primer on Aging Choose Font Size Normal Large Extra Large Dizzy spells on blood pressure medication Dizzy spells on blood pressure medication December 9, 2002 (Reviewed: December 4, 2003) Question I have been taking my blood pressure medication as prescribed and my reading is 130/90 most of the time, occasionally it is 120/80. However, recently, I get dizzy and "pass out" very briefly - say for 30 seconds or less - once or more times a day. Is this problem common or a side effect of my drugs? Answer The first thing that I noted is that your blood pressure is at the level that most doctors prefer. Of course if you have had high blood pressure for a while, your body may take some time to adjust to your "normal" pressures. I'm going to assume your problem is related to a change in posture, and is known as "orthostatic hypotension". We need adequate blood to the brain to provide needed oxygen and glucose for the brain to function properly. When a person with low blood pressure quickly rises from a sitting or lying position the blood to the brain is temporarily reduced. This is because of gravity, and also, perhaps, medications that slow down the heart's response to a change in position by raising the blood flow to the brain. If the brain is deprived of an adequate amount of blood, even for a few seconds, the person may feel light headed, dizzy and may even see spots in their field of vision. As soon as the body responds to the lowered blood pressure everything returns to normal within a minute or less.

Primer on Aging Choose Font Size Normal Large Extra Large Fainting on standing up Fainting on standing up November 3, 2003 Question I have orthostatic hypotension and, although I'm under treatment, I still faint. I've also got bradycardia (slow heart rate). Do you have any information that will help me? Answer Fainting when you stand up is often due to a very low blood pressure occurring on standing, so that not enough oxygen-rich blood reaches the head. It's called orthostatic hypotension, or postural hypotension. These instructions from San Francisco General Medical Hospital for people with this problem can help: 1. Eat a diet high in salt 2. Drink lots of fluids 3. Be upright - sitting or standing most of the day 4. If you are dizzy while standing, squat, lie down or sit in a chair with feet elevated to relieve dizziness. Do NOT have someone support you in a standing position. 5. Get out of bed or out of a chair slowly. Sit on edge of bed for a few minutes before standing. If you are dizzy, sit or lie down for a few minutes, then stand up slowly. 6. Straining such as on the toilet or when lifting may cause your blood pressure to drop and cause dizziness. Avoid these situations where possible.

Health Matters All in the Mind The Buzz Earthbeat ... Quantum Hypotension (Low Blood Pressure) in the elderly Broadcast Monday 12 March 2001 with Norman Swan Summary: A study in New York has investigated the role low blood pressure plays in the risk of falls in the elderly. Transcript: Still to come, taking a high tech pulse, and, why you shouldn’t eat and run, because you might end up keeling over. It’s called post-prandial hypotension and a group led by Dr Mathew Maurer, at Columbia University in New York, has looked to see whether it could explain a lot of falls in the elderly. Mathew Maurer: What we also noted which has been noted by others clearly is that a phenomenon called orthostatic hypotension, a fall in blood pressure when one stands up, is much more common as one ages. And so we hypothesise rather simply that older people essentially eat and stand up, typically three, four, sometimes many more times a day, and that if both post-prandial and orthostatic hypotension are more common with ageing, it is possible that the two interact and might essentially cause even a lower blood pressure. Norman Swan: They studied 50 elderly people, put them on a mechanical tilt table and then turned it upright before and after they’d eaten something, all the time measuring their heart rate, blood pressure and watching for symptoms light light-headedness.

Browse by Review Group A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 23 May 2002. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Objectives: To assess the relative efficacy and side effects of prophylactic interventions for hypotension following spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section. Search strategy: The Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group Trials Register (January 2002) and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register (Cochrane Library, Issue 4, 2001). Selection criteria: All published or unpublished randomised controlled trials comparing interventions to prevent hypotension with placebo or alternative treatment in women having spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section. Data collection and analysis: Trials identified from searching are assessed for inclusion by the same two reviewers independently. Studies are excluded from review where: hypotension is not an outcome measure or clearly defined prior to administering a rescue treatment; randomisation is unsatisfactory; the spinal anaesthetic technique or dose of local anaesthetic is not controlled-for; and the intervention is implemented in response to a fall in blood pressure rather than for prevention. Review Manager software is used for calculation of the treatment effect, represented by relative risks and proportional and absolute risk reductions.

In the late 20th century, the early care for an injured person included “2 large-bore Intravenous lines, running wide open”. The current trend, in ambulances and emergency rooms, is to limit fluid resuscitation, at least until hemorrhage is controlled by natural hemostasis, external pressure, angiography or surgery. Metaphorically, the tide of fluid resuscitation is ebbing; our bleeding patients are managed drier than previously.

(People should consult their doctor before trying any treatment) GENERAL INFORMATION BROCHURE ON NEURALLY MEDIATED HYPOTENSION AND ITS TREATMENT Neurally Mediated Hypotension Working Group Johns Hopkins Hospital Revised January 1997 This document has been prepared for those who have requested further information about neurally mediated hypotension. What is neurally mediated hypotension? Neurally mediated hypotension is also known by the following names: the fainting reflex, neurocardiogenic syncope, vasodepressor syncope, the vaso-vagal reflex, and autonomic dysfunction. Hypotension is the formal medical term for low blood pressure, and syncope is the term for fainting. Neurally mediated hypotension occurs when there is an abnormal reflex interaction between the heart and the brain, both of which usually are structurally normal. When does neurally mediated hypotension lead to symptoms? Neurally mediated hypotension occurs in susceptible individuals in the following settings: after prolonged periods of quiet upright posture (such as standing in line, standing in a shower, or even sitting up for long periods), after being in a warm environment (such as in hot summer weather, a hot crowded -corn, a hot shower or bath)
