HELP ADVICE PLEASE

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS TESTS TO FIND OUT WHY I SUFFER FROM SYNCOPE DIZZINESS PALPATATIONS RACING HEART . ECHOCARDIOGRAM WAS FINE THERE WAS SLIGHT REGURGITATION ON VALVES BUT NOT SIGNIFICANT BLOOD WORK DONE AT GP FINE , ECG FINE I MET CARDIOLOGIST WHO ALSO SENT ME FOR TILTTABLE TEST  I HAD A PRE SYNCOPE EPISOD DUE TO LOW BP AFTER I WAS ADMINIDSTERED THE SPRAY HALFWAY THROUGH. I WAS TOLD BY DOCTOR AT THIS TEST THAT SHE SUSPECTS I HAVE ELHERS DANLOS DUE TO MY FLEXIBILITY ARTHRITIS JOINTS AND OTHER SYMPTOMS ALSO THAT I HAD POTS. HOWEVER MY CARDIOLOGIST REVIEWED THE TILT TABLE TEST AND HAS ASKED ME TO HAVE ANOTHER TILTTABLE TEST WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF POSSIBLE IS A POSSIBLE REASON AS TO WHY SHE WOULD WANT THE TILT TEST TO BE REPETED. I THOUGHT IT WAS SO HORRIBLE I REALLY DONT WANT TO DO IT AGAIN AND AS SHE IS ON HOLIDAY I CANT FIND OUT FROM HE WHY SHE WANTS ME TO  HAVE THIS DONE AGAIN.

I have mentioned this forum before that i have never ordered a tilt table test before and am not a big believer in the test.  your doctor is ordering the test again because they are not sure if they can trust the first test result.  It is that uncertainty about tilt table tests that makes me very reluctant to order them.  I would not order a second test because if you didn't pass out this time, does that mean the first test is wrong or the second test is wrong.  Ultimately you have to do what you and your doctor decide, but I personally do not like tilt table tests.
