Syncope can be due t: to cardiac or non-cardiac etiology. First heart disease, arrhythmias and other cardiac causes of syncope should be ruled out before considering a positive tilt test as diagnostic. If cardiac is ruled out and if your blood pressure and heart rate dropped during the test and you passed out then its reflex. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/vasovagal-syncope/home/ovc-20184773

Exhaustion & Fatigue: First step in women of childbearing age is a pregnancy test. Passing out" may refer to syncope, of which the most dangerous cause is cardiogenic, but may also include seizure disorders, thyroid and endocrine disorders, anemia, or dehydration. Orthostatic hypotension is common you had a normal EKG and tilt and your vital signs are normal lab tests will be run to continue the work up. Good luck.
