There are lots of different types of test for P.O.T.S. but the most commonly used test is the “tilt table test” where the patient is strapped to a table that is gradually tilted. The patient’s blood pressure and heart rate are measured throughout the test. Reactions to certain drugs may also be tested in order to determine a diagnosis of P.O.T.S. and blood and urine tests will be taken to rule out any other possible causes of the symptoms
