Doctor not listening, I wanna cry at this point

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. I feel you, I’m struggling with the same frustration of finding a doctor who takes me seriously atm.

I’m currently trying to book an appointment with a doctor who I know has experience with pots patients and knows a lot about it. I found him on Google, so perhaps it’s worth doing a Google search of doctors who know about pots in your area.

Another thing, if you haven’t already, make sure you use either a pulse oximeter, Fitbit, Apple Watch or something that can measure your heart rate to do a poor man’s tilt table test at home. I’ve found that’s the one thing that can get doctors to take you at least somewhat more seriously if you have hard data. If you don’t know how to do a poor man’s tilt table test, send me a private message and I’ll let you know how I did it! Best of luck x
