You have been tested on a tilt table because in the past you had suddenly lost consciousness.

This test involves the person being attached to a table that can be tilted. First of all, you just lie there quietly. Then the table is tilted up. The testing involves measuring blood pressure and heartbeat. Changes in blood pressure and heartbeat can indicate various conditions. Heart and circulation conditions can cause people to suddenly lose consciousness.
