Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
First of all POTS is acronym for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome which is an exaggerated drop in BP in a patient who goes from a supine position on a standing position followed by Tachycardia.
Post by definition is characterised by Orthostatic hypotension, lightheaded and tachycardia and is diagnosed on a tilt table test. This is why you should schedule for a tilt table test to diagnose the POTS.
Hope this will be of help!
