Results

The results of a tilt table test are based on whether you faint during the test and what happens to your blood pressure and heart rate.

The result is positive if your blood pressure decreases and you feel dizziness or faint during the test.

The result is negative if your heart rate increases only slightly, your blood pressure doesn't drop significantly, and you don't have signs or symptoms of fainting.

Depending on the results, your doctor might recommend additional tests to exclude other causes of fainting.
