Me! They strapped me to a "table" that was at a 90 degree angle. Then slowly laid the table back. I think they stopped around 70 degrees and within about seven minutes at that angle I passed out. They brought me back up to 90 so quickly, though, that I didn't realize I had even passed out. It was worse for my mom watching than it was for me. Like I said, I didn't even know what happened.

What's it for???

I fainted a lot and they wanted to make sure the fainting spells weren't seizures or something. They weren't, though. I was diagnosed with Vasovagal Syncope. Which just means you faint a lot.  LOL. I actually pretty much grew out of it, but I still get kind of sick feeling if I stand for too long.
