ICD-10 code I95. 1 for Orthostatic hypotension is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Orthostatic vital signs may be indicated to evaluate patients who are at risk for hypovolemia (vomiting, diarrhea, bleeding), have had syncope or near syncope (dizziness, fainting), or are at risk for falls. A significant change in vital signs with a change in position also signals increased risk for falls.
Orthostatic hypertension refers to an increase in the blood pressure upon assuming an upright posture. This clinical condition has been understudied and is often underappreciated in clinical practice probably because of its unfamiliarity to many clinicians including subspecialists.

1 Have the patient lie down for 5 minutes. 2 Measure blood pressure and pulse rate. 3 Have the patient stand. 4 Repeat blood pressure and pulse rate measurements after standing 1 and 3 minutes.
POTs is defined by a fast pulse on standing, and is not the same as orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure on standing), or syncope (passing out in any position).
Loss of fluid within the blood vessels is the most common cause of symptoms linked to orthostatic hypotension. This could be due to dehydration brought about by diarrhea, vomiting, and the use of medication, such as diuretics or water pills.
Orthostatic hypotension is a form of low blood pressure caused by blood vessels failing to constrict when the body takes an upright position.
The incidence of both orthostatic hypotension (OH) and hypertension increases with age, arguably in relation to a decrease in autonomic and baroreflex function. It is not surprising, therefore, that they often coexist.
Orthostatic hypotension — also called postural hypotension — is a form of low blood pressure that happens when standing after sitting or lying down. Orthostatic hypotension can cause dizziness or lightheadedness and possibly fainting.
Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) is a subtype of orthostatic hypotension in which patients have impaired regulation of standing blood pressure due to autonomic dysfunction. Several primary and secondary causes of this disease exist. Patients may present with an array of symptoms making diagnosis difficult.
In ICD-10-AM/ACHI/ACS Tenth Edition, neurogenic orthostatic hypotension is classified to I95. 12 Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension.
Low blood pressure (hypotension)
Orthostatic hypotension is a chronic, debilitating illness that is difficult to treat. The therapeutic goal is to improve postural symptoms, standing time, and function rather than to achieve upright normotension, which can lead to supine hypertension.
Orthostatic syncope is transient loss of consciousness due to reduced blood flow to the cerebrum that can be associated with symptoms like dizziness, diaphoresis, nausea or blurred vision. Neurally mediated (neurogenic) and non-neurally mediated causes can lead to syncope.
Low blood pressure occurs when blood pressure is much lower than normal. This means the heart, brain, and other parts of the body do not get enough blood. Normal blood pressure is mostly between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg. The medical name for low blood pressure is hypotension.
