Answer: orthostatic hypotension

Explanation: Orthostatic hypotension is a sharp drop in blood pressure that occurs when standing up. To diagnose this condition, the systolic blood pressure has to drop by 20mmHg and the diastolic blood pressure by 10 mmHg shortly after a patient gets on their feet.

This condition is caused by the inability of blood pressure to change according to changes in postures. Symptoms include nausea and dizziness.  When this condition is combined with trauma to the torso, it can result in bleeding.

When the  gland is reduced, then intuitively, the levels of thyroid hormone reduce in the body.  This causes the hypothalamus to release thyroid releasing hormone (TRH) in an attempt to spur thyroid hormone production to normal levels. THR, in a domino effect, causes the pituitary to release higher levels prolactin  (PRL).
