It is actually quite common to experience these changes, a condition called orthostatic hypotension, especially when taking blood pressure medications like Telmikind 40 (telmisartan). When you stand, gravity pulls blood downward, and your medication helps relax your blood vessels, causing your blood pressure to drop. In response, your heart beats faster to maintain blood flow. To stay safe, please transition very slowly when changing positions, sitting for a moment before standing up. I highly recommend sharing these readings with your doctor, as they may want to gently adjust your Telmikind 40 dosage to prevent any dizziness.
