Neurally Mediated Hypotension, or High Pulse Low Blood Pressure, is a condition in which patients experience a rapid pulse combined with low blood pressure. It causes extreme fatigue and even blackouts. Doctors believe that a possible cause is a failed reflex between the brain and the brain, although that has not been proven.

Although there are no concrete cures for neurally mediated hypotension, certain treatment have proven to be very effective. All treatments doesn’t suit each patients, therefore the patients are required to find the ones that suit them the best. General treatments are usually medications that prevent the heart from slowing down, which increase the blood pressure. Increasing the overall intake of sodium is another way to treating neutrally mediated blood pressure. A lot of the treatment plans use fludrocortisone or florinef, a drug which enhances the retention of sodium in the body. There can also be ani-arrythmic drugs such as disopyramide phosphate, anti-depressants such as fluoxetine or Prozac, Ritalin which is also used for narcolepsy, and other such medication. A combination of drugs is needed for each treatment plan.

The drugs do not cure the problem, they merely reduce the symptoms. Patients also have to make several lifestyle changes and adopt helpful maneuvers such as standing with the legs crossed, bending over while sitting, and many others.
