POTS?: If every test is negative consult your physician about pots ( postural orthostatic syndrome ). Most commonly young females but can happen in males. Heart rate goes up when standing over 30 beats from normal. Other symptoms can be associated. Secondary causes most be r/o like electrolyte unbalance, endocrine disorders, food allergies etc. Consult your physician.
