Postprandial hypotension is commonly defined as a decrease in systolic blood pressure of 20mmHg or more observed within two hours after meal ingestion. It is very common in older patients especially in those living in long-term healthcare homes. Patients with postprandial hypotension may develop symptomatic hypotension, syncope and falls.
