Autonomic testing refers to a series of tests that determine how well the autonomic nerves respond to stimulation. They are used to look for nerve damage.
Most autonomic tests measure heart rate and blood pressure when the body is subjected to different conditions. These include a test that involves being placed on a tilted table (tilt table test), a test that requires deep breathing, and a test that involves blowing into a tube (Vasalva maneuver).
