Possible: You do not state what meds you are on or why you are hanging the test so i'm sorry i can not answer the question for you. Somersault do interfere with the test but usually in the test instructions the interfering ones are pointed out and you are told when to stop them. Others have no effect.

Depends on meds: There are some medications that affect sweating and the content of sweat. In addition certain blood pressure meds and meds used in some psychiatric and neurologic disorders could do this. You should discuss your meds with the doctor who ordered the test and follow his/her recommendation in order to get an accurate test.
