I a 15 year old, have been diagnosed with POTS five months ago and tomorrow I’ll be taking the tilt test in order to narrow down my triggers. Thank you for posting this video, it has made me less nervous for tomorrow.

I passed out within a minute of being tilted up. They said it was the fastest they’ve seen. Woohoo! I deserve a medal!

I have suspected Pots. I can just tell that my symptoms will be non existent when I go for my tilt table, I've recorded my own heart rate on bad days, my resting varies from 70-80 but when I stand up it can go as high as 140. Im So scared the doctor won't believe me, I have CFS and getting that DX was an uphill battle

I feel the tilt table test is too mild and slow compared to suddenly laying in bed or standing up suddenly.

Am I supposed to pass out?? haha. Funny chap.

I'm really scared to have my test next week, but seeing Pops do it first has really helped with some of my nerves.

i am having this test in a week and am nervous about falling off the table from balance problems due to cerebral palsy. on the other hand, this may be a fun ride, despite my hatred for riding rollercoasters

I have ME CfS and I'm so excited to be having my Tilt Test next week after 3.5 years of having my first symptoms 😊

I had a tilt table test today to diagnose POTS. They said it was inconclusive even though I had vomiting and felt like passing out but never did. That was like the worst torture I can imagine and I will never let them do that to me again

I’m 15 years old who has suspected POTS and I’m watching this the night before I do mine. Your video was very helpful

[peachysquirrely]

I’m nervous about this test and I’m going to drive myself to take this test tomorrow. I hope I don’t throw up or pass out.

[armaghanamin]

Will go through the tilt on next Tuesday, , feel a bit nervous

[luxsarrazine]

At my next doctors appointment I’m requesting a TTT. I already have a suspected diagnosis but I’m not confident enough to allow anyone to put it on paperwork. They did an in office test but I don’t fully trust it. I just want to know what’s wrong with me. If it’s not POTS I want to know if it is. I want to know. I’m 15 and I’m tired of not knowing what is medically wrong with me and why I feel like shit so much

I have to submit to this test, but I only faint in the summertime, with the heat (26, 27 or more celsius). During the winter I feel ok.

[thewrestlingchick-tamara]

I'll be going through this test tomorrow. 🙏

[danide]

I lasted 5 minutes. Orthostatic Hypotension and compensatory tachycardia

[krownca]

This test stopped my heart when I was 18.... Ugh, Have to go for it again in 2 days.

Guess i'll briefly be seeing Jesus again.
