I don't know how much luck you would have with this, but I recently read that some pots patients have chronic low blood volume. Since blood volume is not easily tested, you may have a hard time convincing an already reluctant gp to consider it.

However, it's worth bringing up, because low blood volume is a form of anemia that wouldn't show up in regular blood tests. That means you'd have all the typical anemia symptoms, such as weakness and fatigue, but no lab work proof of why the symptoms exist.

Dr's are struggling to diagnose POTS but its very real and very 'invisible' to people that are not struggling with it.

you must insist on seeing a cardiologist and ask for a 'tilt test to be performed as this will be the quickest diagnosis to POTS if you have it, medication and help and support can then be given.

I really wish you luck and hope you get this sorted.

good luck with your wedding xx
