A member asked:
I was diagnosed with orthostatic hypotension 2 years ago but i never had a table tilt test. should i trust the doctor or look for a second opinion?

If symptoms are : persisting despite hydration, which is the treatment for orthostatic hypotension, then your diagnosis may be incorrect. Then u may consider a second opinion. However, a Tilt table test is not needed to make the diagnosis of orthostatic hypotension.
