Hms but may have pots

How do you become tested for pots? After a few people suggest I may have it after discribing my aches and pains on a fb hms/eds page. I agree with some of their suggestions, however, drs are not doing anything re, hms so, how do I get them to listen? If there is reason to believe I may have something else, and, or too.

NP :-)

At the specialist clinic in London they check the spike in your pulse on going from laid to standing and if there's anything suspect there is the tilt table test
