You can get POTS without change in BP. many times the cause of POTS is not known Good luck

If you have misgivings or lack of confidence in your current doctor, get a second opinion.

You are correct. Blood pressure may not change in POTS because tachycardia can compensate. So the key in POTS is persistent TACHYCARDIA on standing (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), not postural or orthostatic HYPOTENSION. You can request a second opinion. Take care.
