Orthostatic HTN would be I10
As coding index is not leading to orthostatic word for Hypertension, we can go ahead and give I10.

Need to assign I10 Code. There is no specific code in alpha index for orthostatic hypertension.

orthostatic hypertension or hypotension???
Do you mean orthostatic hypotension? That's what I've usually seen in the past; when the patient sits up/stands up, their blood pressure drops. If that is what you're looking for the correct code would be I95.1.
