Common Presentation

Orthostatic hypotension is a common presentation in the primary care setting. Concise management is important as it can lead to falls, particularly in the elderly and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Its management presents as a challenge as there are differing guidelines on managing these patients. This case report illustrates two cases of drug-related orthostatic hypotension with similar presentation, however both were managed differently.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 03 No. 04 October’19 Page : 241-244

SYNOPSISGeneral practice based psychiatric clinics have increased in number in recent years. Case-note and case-register data examining the nature of the psychiatric disorder of the patients seen in this setting have shown contradictory findings. In this study comparison of 113 patients referred to primary care and hospital out-patient clinics is made using standardized clinical and social measures. Our results show that both groups had similar degrees of physical and social dysfunction and comparable levels of psychiatric morbidity. However, in the primary care population there were more women, and schizophreniform psychoses predominated. In the hospital sample affective illnesses and personality disorders were more common. The majority of patients preferred to consult in the primary care setting.
