Physical Examination

Vital Signs

• For most individuals, a healthy blood pressure lies from 90/50 mmHg to 135/90 mmHg. A small drop in blood pressure, even as little as 20 mmHg, can result in transient hypotension.

• Evaluating neurocardiogenic syncope is done with a tilt table test.

Heart

• Irregular heartbeat may be present.
