Summary

This trial is testing whether drinking water will help blood pressure in patients with low blood pressure when standing up, when they have had a lot to drink beforehand.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-80 with orthostatic hypotension, which means their blood pressure drops significantly when standing up. They should have previously shown a blood pressure increase after drinking water in other studies. Pregnant individuals cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study investigates the effect of two different doses of water on blood pressure in patients with orthostatic hypotension. It aims to determine if the pressor (blood-pressure raising) response to water diminishes when a full dose is taken earlier.
What are the potential side effects?
Drinking high or low doses of water typically does not cause side effects; however, it may lead to discomfort from bloating or stomach fullness and very rarely might contribute to changes in electrolyte balance.
