Instructions for Tilt Table Test

Tilt Table Test
  • Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the night before your test.

  • A nurse will call and tell you what medicine you should or should not take before your test.
  • You may drive to and from your test.
  • The test itself takes 40 minutes, but plan to be here 2 to 3 hours (IV, paperwork, talking with the doctor).
