Abstract
The Schellong test is one of the minor examinations for orthostatic dysregulation. As the Schellong test is a non-invasive examination, it is frequently performed to evaluate autonomic imbalance of patients with dizziness.
The results of the Schellong test were positive in 61 (51.3%) of 119 patients (male 30, female 89)and specificity for orthostatic dizziness and orthostatic dysregulation were noted.
Overall,64.4% of the patients with hypertension showed positive results on the Schellong test. Although, the rate of patients with hypertension increased with age, the results of the Schellong test were not dependent on age. The results of this study suggest that hypertension affects the results of the Schellong test.
