Tilt table: This test is used to check changes in blood pressure when lying flat on a table and then when being upright ( perpendicular to the ground ). Some people have dizziness when they get out of bed and stand up.Their body does not adjust to postural changes.Gravity causes a drop in blood pressure.This test recreates these postural changes while monitoring the changes in blood pressure.
