Experiencing Dizziness and Lightheadedness - Need Help!

I have a few symptoms that im rlly confused by. 1. When i stand for more than five minutes, sometimes a few seconds, i start getting dizzy, lightheaded and sweaty and i can feel my heart sometimes 2. I can't stand straight otherwise i'll fall over/trip so i stand with one leg bent and this somehow makes me not feel dizzy 3. When i stand up, quickly or not, everything goes black and i feel super lightheaded My heart rate was like 130-151 for a while after i stood up These are all worsened by heat Another few are: I occasionally feel as though everything is spinning and moving and tilting sideways I sometimes feel like certain limbs are growing and shrinking even though they aren't I have these moments where i zone out involuntarily in which my eyes ALWAYS cross without me moving my eyes Why does any of this happen?

Most of these are classic POTS symptoms or some kind of dysautonomia!
