A decreased blood pressure after standing up may indicate orthostatic hypotension, which can be a sign of dehydration, medication side effects or underlying medical issues. This should be reported to the primary care provider for further evaluation and management. The other options are normal physiological responses to different stimuli and do not require immediate attention.
