A tilt table test is used to evaluate the cause of unexplained fainting. A health care provider might recommend a tilt table test to evaluate repeated, unexplained episodes of lightheadedness, dizziness or fainting. The test can help determine if the cause is related to heart rate or blood pressure.

<h3>During a tilt table test</h3> You lie flat on your back on the motorized table for about five minutes. You're then moved to a nearly vertical position, where you'll remain from 5 to 45 minutes, depending on the reason for the test. While in this position, stay as still as possible and report signs and symptoms such as nausea, sweating, lightheadedness or irregular heartbeats.
