💡 Small Drop + Symptoms > Large Drop + No Symptoms

Symptomatic OH carries a HIGHER fall risk than asymptomatic OH, even with a smaller BP drop.

Ask "Do you feel dizzy or lightheaded?" at EVERY measurement — not just once.

A patient with a 15 mmHg drop who feels dizzy is at greater risk than a patient with a 25 mmHg drop who feels fine.

Document symptoms alongside every BP value. Numbers without context are incomplete.
