The test is considered positive if systolic blood pressure falls 20 mm Hg below baseline or if diastolic blood pressure falls 10 mm Hg below baseline. If symptoms occur during testing, the patient should be returned to the supine position immediately.
When is a patient said to be positive for orthostatics?
A provider also might recommend one or more of the following: Blood pressure monitoring. This involves measuring blood pressure while sitting and standing. A drop of 20 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) in the top number (systolic blood pressure) within 2 to 5 minutes of standing is a sign of orthostatic hypotension.

What is the gold standard for orthostatic hypotension?
The gold-standard diagnosis of OH was made based on a supine-to-standing SBP drop 20 mmHg or DBP drop 10 mmHg[1]. We performed two analyses comparing patients with SBP OH or DBP OH to those without OH.
