Wear Compression Stockings
Compression stockings are sometimes used to treat varicose veins. This is because these elastic stockings help prevent blood from pooling in the blood vessels in your legs. It can help move this blood along and prevent postural or orthostatic hypotension.
Orthostatic hypotension is blood pressure that occurs when a person stands for too long. This kind of hypotension is more common in older adults, affecting around 30 percent. [3] The prevalence is much lower in middle-aged people, at 11 percent. [4]
Compression stockings and braces can also help bedridden people pump blood from their legs.
