Content: How I do I learn about my results? You may get your results as soon as the test is over. Sometimes your doctor will give you the results a few days later. Results are either “negative” or “positive.” If your blood pressure does not fall during the test, and you have no other symptoms, the test results are negative (normal). If your blood pressure drops during the test and you feel faint or dizzy, the test is positive. Your doctor may suggest changing your medicines or having more tests. If your fainting is due to a slow heart rate (bradycardia), your doctor may recommend a pacemaker. How can I learn more about tilt-table tests? Talk with your doctor.
