Can salt increase hypotension?

Parkinson's medication develop with complication. There are motor and non motor syndromes on patients. Low blood pressure is one of non motor syndrome.
I am one of the sufferers. I have a mini stroke (T.I.A) last month. Recently I discover my blood pressure is low on standing (100/ 76) but normal (145/76) blood pressure on sitting or lie-down on bed causing me dizzness, headache and fainting.
Hypotension is usually causing health for elderly.
Sudden drops in blood pressure can be life-threating.
What cause Parkinson medication increase hypotension?
Is hypotension related to my mini stroke last month?
Can salt taking increase my blood pressure as advised by my doctor? What are alternative?
Kindly advise
