So my whole life (f,21, in cornwall) ive struggled with these symptoms, and the past couple years I found out what POTS was and it matches all my symptoms (even friends think so) I had brought it up to doctors before and they did a standing test which they said I definetly passed (as in had POTS symptoms) but they referred me to cardiology and they refused. Apparently they aren't taking on POTS patients. A few months later I changed doctors because I'm desperate for help and a diagnosis, but we saw them a few days ago and they said the same thing, cardiology "doesnt believe" in pots. So they said its impossible to gey diagnosed in the uk, I don't have a job because of it and want to apply for pip but was waiting for a diagnosis, but now it seems impossible without going private.

So My question is: if you are diagnosed in the UK, how did you do it?

TLDR: doctors say its impossible to get diagnosed for pots because cardiology "doesnt believe" in it, what can I do?
