Tips for Tilt Table Test Tomorrow

Having my tilt table test tomorrow! Any tips? During today’s physical exam with the laying and standing bp check, my bp dropped 20 points when standing. He said that was interesting because it did not fit the POTS criteria as well having a high heart rate while sitting did not fit the criteria. Any thoughts of what it could be or questions I should ask him tomorrow?

It may not be POTs but it could very well be another type of dysautonomia, the autonomic nervous system is really weird and complicated when it doesn't work properly but everyone always jumps to POTs or nothing which is inaccurate. Hope you find some answers!!

this is a great answer! I was thinking the same thing. Where do you go to get more answers when someone thinks its just POTS when it could be any kind of dysautonomia?

Would you be willing to tell us about your tilt table test experience? I have one scheduled this week and would really appreciate any information!

I’m so sorry I didn’t see your comment until now. Did you have yours already? If so, how did it go? I almost passed out during mine. I was a bit worried that results would be skewed bc I was actually feeling okay that morning. But sure enough, the symptoms appeared within seconds of the tilt. My blood pressure dropped, HR increased, and I had blood pooling in my legs and feet.
