1, routine examination: observe the patient's mental state, the amount of blood pressure.

2, other examinations: ECG or central venous pressure measurement (CVP).

Differential diagnosis

Blood pressure drops are identified because blood pressure is affected by the following factors:

1. Height: The higher the body, the more pressure the heart needs to pump the blood, allowing the blood to flow throughout the body.

2. Age: The younger the age, the higher the metabolic rate, the greater the blood flow, and the greater the need for the heart to pump blood, with age.

3. Blood viscosity (blood density): The more viscous the blood, the more pressure the heart needs to pump out the blood.

4. Posture: When standing, the blood pressure is higher than the sitting blood pressure, while the sitting blood pressure is higher than the blood pressure when lying down. Due to the principle of gravity.

5. Vascular quality: If the blood vessels become narrower and the blood is difficult to pass, the heart needs more pressure to pump the blood.

6. Others: mental state, life rhythm, personal differences, eating habits, drugs, genetics, weather changes, etc.
