Hypotension test.

September 14, 2022

Lie down on the bed and lie down for 1-2 minutes. Measure blood pressure in the supine position. Record the digital result. Without changing body position, inflate the cuff again to 20 mmHg. above the received systolic pressure. Stand up abruptly with the cuff inflated and immediately measure your blood pressure while standing. What do the results say? The pressure rose by 6 -10 mm Hg. immediately after a sharp rise - everything is fine. BP dropped by more than 10 mm Hg. - a sign of depleted adrenal glands. The greater the fall, the more pronounced the exhaustion.
