Has anyone had a tilt table test or examination?

I might need to get a tilt table test. I have small fiber neuropathy (SFN) and cardiolipid autoantibodies which show possibility for anti phospholipid syndrome (APS). APS is a higher risk for clotting. SFN can affect arteries/veins/capillaries and heart/blood flow. I am not aware of side effects of the tilt table test other than moving your body in positions to check vascular health/response to pressure changes.

The tilt table testing helped diagnose my CAN-cardiac autonomic neuropathy
I have SFN
Severe axonal sensorimotor polyneuropathy

I did have the test. I passed out right away. I have the neurocardiogenic syncope. I had passed out twice and I didn't know what was wrong with me. No alcohol, stay hydrated, check your blood pressure (ensure that isn't too low), potassium and sodium. I was diagnosed a long time ago and at this point I have not passed out again. I used to exercise during the morning and at lunch. I believe that that was part of the issue. They sent my sodium pills that you get at CVS if I felt sick and my blood pressure was low.
