My dr thinks i have pots and suspected tia im seeing a neurologist tomorrow what tests will they most likely give me?

Tilt-Table Test: He may desire to start with a simple lying & then standing blood pressure & heart rate measurement. Both measurements should be done after 3 minutes resting & standing, & immediately standing. If this does not give him the accurate information, he may desire a Head-Up-Tilt Table Test, to monitor your heart rhythm, blood pressure, & heart rate. Longer term heart rhythm monitoring may also help.
