This test allows doctors to evaluate your body’s cardiovascular response to this change in position. When you stand up, gravity causes blood to pool in your leg veins, reducing the amount of blood that returns to your heart. This can cause your blood pressure to decrease (orthostatic hypotension). Normally, one’s body quickly compensates but if these mechanisms do not work normally, the drop in blood pressure can be severe enough to cause fainting.
