| == Proposed Diagnostic Criteria for ME/CFS by IOM ==
| | A title table test is used to diagnose [[dysautonomia]] or [[syncope]]. |
| It would take a Tilt Table Test to diagnose Orthostatic Intolerance. <ref>http://iom.nationalacademies.org/~/media/Files/Report%20Files/2015/MECFS/MECFS_ProposedDiagnosticCriteria</ref>

| == Symptoms Predict the Outcome of Tilt Table Testing in CFS/ME/FM ==
| | The [[Institute of Medicine Report]] recommends a tilt table test for diagnosing [[orthostatic intolerance]] in [[ME/CFS]]. |
| "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia are frequently associated with orthostatic intolerance,
| |
| including Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, Symptomatic Orthostatic Tachycardia
| |
| Syndrome, and Neurally Mediated Hypotension. <ref>http://drlapp.com/wp-content/uploads/TTT_symptoms.pdf</ref>

| == [[Solve ME/CFS]] on Table Tilt to Examine for Orthostatic Results for CFS ==
| |
| '''Orthostatic heart rate and blood pressure changes'''
| |
| "One of the most readily apparent abnormalities on the examination of those with CFS is that heart rate and blood pressure abnormalities are present, sometimes at rest, and more consistently during relatively brief periods of upright posture. In response to standing or upright tilt table testing, individuals with CFS have a higher prevalence of neurally mediated hypotension (NMH) and postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS), or both."<ref>http://solvecfs.org/guest-blog-dr-peter-rowe-is-the-physical-examination-normal-in-cfs-part-1/</ref>
