📋 Three Types of Orthostatic Hypotension

Initial OH (10-20 seconds)
Usually benign, resolves quickly. Often causes brief dizziness on standing.

Classic OH (30 sec - 3 min)
More concerning. Significant fall risk. Caught by the 5-1-3-20 protocol.

Delayed OH (after 3 min)
The sneaky one. Often missed. May require extended monitoring beyond standard protocol.

Know which type you're dealing with — timing tells the story.
