Supine hypertension explained

Supine hypertension is a paradoxical elevation in blood pressure upon assuming a supine position from a standing or sitting position.[1] [2] [3] It is assumed to be a manifestation of disorders of the autonomic nervous system[4] or due to side effects of medications such as midodrine and droxidopa.[5] [6]
