Unwilling to give up energy drinks

Hi, I was recently diagnosed with POTS and have been talking with my doctor about my usage of energy drinks. I’ve seen a few posts about this but none were quite specific enough. I’ve cut back on my caffeine intake by only having one can a week instead of my one can a day since my recent graduation. My doctor is firmly against my consumption and has told me the detriments it can have with this recent diagnosis. However, they are pretty much the one thing that gives me joy in life and I’m not willing to completely give them up. How can I better manage my symptoms and still indulge?
