Dizziness male 77
My father aged 77, is facing this problem. Whenever he gets up from chair or sleep he feels dizzy and falls down. However this dizziness does not occur when he is walking or sitting. I guess he is suffering from orthostatic hypotension.
Daily he takes the following medicine:
1) Syndopa plus - With symptoms like unbalanced walk and micrographia. Now after medication his walking has become normal. No trembling at all.
2) Ecosprin 150 - blood thinner ( bypass heart surgery happened around 20 years ago)
3) Rapilif 8 mg - prostate
4) Losar H - blood pressure
6) Stemlo 10 - blood pressure
7) Atorva
Lifestyle - he leads a sedentary lifestyle. No activity at all. Drinks very less water.
What should he do to overcome orthostatic hypotension. His vision is fine. Doesn't get the feeling vomiting

Needs to increase activity to build calf muscles.water intake needs to be sufficient.blood pressure should be maintained.
Meanwhile ask him to sit up from bed with feet on the ground for a few minutes,before getting up to stand.the chances of falling will be less.
