ā Myth: "I checked BP at 1 minute standing ā it's normal, we're done"
ā Reality: Classic and delayed OH occur between 30 seconds and 3+ minutes
A 1-minute reading alone misses up to 50% of positive cases. The 3-minute measurement is where many cases reveal themselves.
Rule: ALWAYS measure at both 1 AND 3 minutes. One reading is never enough.
