Does anyone with MSA have experience with blood pressure being high with lying, sitting and standing? Going up higher as you proceed from sitting to 3 min standing?

partner has MSA- on meds to raise blood pressure as has issues when standing up from sitting down- pressure drops like a stone and generally too low to get a BP reading whilst standing.

If moves too quickly she can pass out for 1-2 minutes.

Good luck

The most horrible disease, hard to think of many any worse. Blessings and prayers to you and your partner. ❤️
