Dr. Nathan Almeida answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine - Cardiology

Unlikely: The only way you can pass out due to lack of circulation to the brain is to have severe blockages in both carotid/vertebral arteries - which is very unlikely at your age. However a carotid/vertebral doppler/ultrasound can rule that out. Your medications may also contribute to the symptoms.

If a cardiologist is suggesting a tilt table test, does that mean the echocardiogram and 5 day holter were normal? If those showed anything abnormal, he wouldnt waste time with a tilt table, correct?
