Specializes in Internal Medicine

Tilt table testing: Used most often to determine if you have a form of autonomic instability called orthostatic hypotension. You are place at a certain angle that normal patients can adjust to but individuals with this problem may pass out, almost pass out or at least have abnormally low blood pressure response.
