I was reading about something called the Poor Man’s Tilt Table Test — it’s a simple way to check how your body reacts to standing up, especially if you deal with things like dizziness, lightheadedness, or a racing heart. Apparently, it helps spot conditions like POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) by tracking if your heart rate jumps by 30 beats or more when you go from lying down to standing.
What’s interesting is that while there’s an official tilt table test done in clinics, this “poor man’s” version can be done at home by carefully monitoring your heart rate and symptoms. It’s not a replacement for medical advice, but it can give you a heads-up if something seems off. Had no idea this was a thing — have you ever tried it?
