Orthostatic Hypotension

Blood pressure medications and diuretics are themselves representative drugs that can cause or worsen orthostatic hypotension. However, since they are essential for treating hypertension or edema, they should not be stopped arbitrarily. If dizziness is severe, the first step is to consult your prescribing doctor about adjusting the type, dose, or timing rather than stopping on your own. Herbal medicine is often used alongside such medications, but it is fundamental to inform us of all medications and supplements you are taking to ensure safety.

At Dongjedang, we check your current medications during consultation and design treatment so they don't conflict, and recommend medication adjustment with your prescribing doctor when needed. We coordinate so that the causative medication and herbal medicine each play their role, aiming treatment that supports circulatory balance to cushion dizziness.
