Dr. Ira Friedlander answered

Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

Your symptoms are: consistent with an autonomic dysfunction. In particular POTS is a concern. You need to be evaluated by a health care professional with particular attention to POTS. An electrophysiologist or endocrinologist or Cardiologist would be most appropriate.
