Q: if i had a thermoregulatory sweat test done, should i still have the tilt table test done to see if i have pots syndrome?

: First, discuss results of the sweat test. If normal, it is appropriate to go to next step. You need to meet with your doctor and have a full explanation of what is required. It is not feasible here, based on one brief post to diagnose or recommend, as doctors who know you best are most appropriate.
