Tilt table test

hi everyone, my dad is currently awaiting a tilt table test just wondered what everyone’s findings was?

He’s been told he’s got high blood pressure and he’s currently on Ramipril 10mg which don’t seem to be doing anything to lower it but the doctors keep palming him off. He’s been told before that his blood pressure drops when he stands up and then goes all over the place. He has also got an irregular heartbeat which he’s on no medication for. He has had ECGS, had 24hr blood pressure monitors and he’s had a Myrocardial infusion scan which all came back fine but he wasn’t allowed on the treadmill as they said his blood pressure was so high he’d have a heart attack.

His symptoms keep getting worse with head pain being the main thing which never eases, he also feels lightheaded, dizzy, blurred vision, nausea and leg pain/ache.

Thank you x
