Tilt Table Test

Test Overview

A tilt table test is used to check people who have fainted or who often feel lightheaded. The results help your doctor know the cause of your fainting or feeling lightheaded.

The test uses a special table that slowly tilts you to an upright position. It checks how your body responds when you change positions.
