So I have had such trouble finding POTS doctors for, like, ever.
Apparently the key search term is not anything to do with dysautonomia. It is "electrophysiologist cardiologist" or some variation of that.
Also because they think the general public will have trouble remembering that, the professional association associated with that has a horrible website.
BUT there is a website for the Heart Rhythm Society which is basically the same thing, because even though it basically spends the whole time talking about atrial fib and arrhythmias, when I have called any of the doctors that they have IN THEIR DATABASE OF DOCTORS, the receptionists KNOW WHAT POTS IS, they do tilt table testing in house, and they can schedule me with a doctor who specializes in the weird thing I have.
So basically it's a secret society of doctors who treat POTS but don't advertise? IDEK. Like nowhere does it say anywhere "POTS" or "dysautonomia" or "hypotension" or whatever, BUT THEY TOTALLY TREAT THOSE THINGS.
Did I mention that their database of doctors appears to be international?
WHY ARE THEY HIDING THEIR MAGIC POWERS?
( cynicism about doctors )
