You are a very wonderful and informed person who shares her knowledge and you must know how you genuinely help others including myself. I thank you sincerely,
Please take this seriously as I am embarased to say that I have a hiatal hernia and Gerd. I must have my head elevated somewhat to allow breathing. I want this test it is needed to keep me alive but can the test still be performed this way?

I think so. Discuss your concern in advance with the Nuclear Medicine Center you will go to, so that they can plan how to do it. For mine, I was on my back, with a 15 degree wedge under my head & upper back and a pillow under my knees.. It wasn't a super hard surface like a CT or MRI machine, but you need to be quite still.
