Additional Info
- This refers to an entity where the person has low BP that either occurs only with upright position, or that substantially worsens with upright position.
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
- This is an unusual code that will very rarely (if at all) be used.
- First of all, if the patient has any form of SHOCK, then you'll use one of the various codes for shock instead (see below)
- Remember, shock is defined as hypoperfusion in the presence of blood pressure that is low, or RELATIVELY LOW for that individual (e.g. in a hypertensive person whose usual BP=195/115, a BP of 120/80 can easily result in hypoperfusion and thus shock).
- Second, if the hypotension does not rise to the level of shock, then there are separate codes (see below) for hypotension that is either: drug-induced, orthostatic, or post-operative.
- One possible use of this code is for the person who chronically runs a very low BP, but without any circulatory compromise.
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition

- Shock, cardiogenic
- Shock, hypovolemic shock or hemorrhagic shock
- Shock, septic
- Anaphylactic reaction (anaphylaxis) -- this code include anaphylactic shock
- Shock, NOS
