Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.
Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query
The chances are that his fluids and electrolyte status has been disbalanced. A good fluid and electrolyte replacement regime may help him. The fluids are important in maintaining the blood pressure. When the fluid is low, one may develop orthostatic hypotension- a condition in which the blood pressure may fall when a person gets up to a standing position from a resting position.
It is of course in view that other systems are not involved and he has no other symptom.
Getting an ECG, Echo and FBS would be a good idea.
I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.
