Which blood pressure varies more?!


Question: Which blood pressure varies more?
So, when in different postures like sitting, standing or lying down, which blood pressure vaires more in regards to different positions? systolic or diastolic? Explain please. thanks

Answers:

A N, The systolic usually varies more but it's not dangerous unless it drops 20 points or more, I have a condition called Orthostatic Hypotension which if i sit then when i stand up my systolic takes a big dive at 30 or more points which i have passed out before, my blood pressure drops to 78/42 very low so i have medication that i have to take if my systolic is 90 or below and this works for me. If ur having problems like this u need to notify ur doc. ASAP. Good Luck
