Abstract
This case illustrates the pharmacist’s role in the outpatient management of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) in a community-dwelling older person. In this case, the patient has a long-standing history of asymptomatic hypotension with recent onset of falls with temporary
loss of consciousness prompting initiation of pharmacologic therapy. This case reviews nonpharmacological and pharmacological treatment options for older people with symptomatic nOH.
