Probably not: Your heart rate is still within normal range.

Not necessarily: What you describe is orthostatic intolerance. There are other things besides POTS that can cause this. You are on a medication, Verapamil, that can effect heart rate and blood pressure, so this symptom might be from the medication. Other things that cause the heart rate to go up like this include: dehydration and mitral valve prolapse. You should see your doctor for further workup.
