I just heads up. We did an orthostatic on him.

Started feeling a little bit light-headed. We couldn't really hear a pulse very well.

Laying down, he was 120 over 80. It got a little bit light, hard to hear, and then he started feeling dizzy.

We laid him back down. His pulse did jump from about 89 to like 115.
00:28
He's laying back down comfortable again on the floor just waiting for you.
