How can you tell if orthostatic hypotension is Neuro or Non Neuro?

I believe it is neurological and circulatory in nature. Have you been diagnosed by a neurologist with small fiber neuropathy (skin punch biopsy)? This can affect the autonomic nervous system and heart/lung/digestive functions.

I know the basics, I am just wondering how one can tell based on the readings we get at home if it’s likely to be from the brain which has a totally different prognosis (MSA). There’s something about the rise of heart rate etc that helps distinguish it, but I’m guessing the significance of that has to be determined through sensitive medical testing. Thanks for your response, I appreciate it. ❤️
