isnt it amazing what some doctors dont know and therefore cant share useful info. Id recommend switching to a doc that has POTS experience or at least autoimmune, or at least treats some of your worse symptoms. Keep in mind there are different subclasses of POTS too. My BP skyrocketed with the rapid pulse (180mmHg and 180bpm was my first 2 visits to the ER). 120/80 and 70bpm after a couple hours and potassium (my potassium was also dropping, up normal 3 days later). Anyway, i went with cardiologist. If it was more classic POTS, I'd go for POTS Specialist or neurologist route.
