Unfortunately there: is a poor understanding of POTS and many of the diseases of autonomic dysfunction. Simple things you can do for yourself until you find a knowledgeable practitioner are maintain hydration, eat more salt and wear thigh high support stockings. A University medical group should have someone with an understanding and experience. Good luck.
