There is no way to prevent orthostatic hypotension if it is a result of other diseases or conditions. However, if your orthostatic hypotension relates to medications, dehydration, or bedrest, you should talk with your healthcare provider about adjusting your medications, drinking adequate fluids, and minimizing bed rest, respectively.
