Cleared by cardiologist…now what

I recently got an EKG, echocardiogram, 3 day home monitoring device, and a stress test at the cardiologist at the direction of my gastroenterologist who needed clearance before a procedure because of my high heart rate (105-115bpm when awake and just sitting at my desk/on the couch). All tests were normal and my heart is structurally fine.

I have narcolepsy (treated with stimulants) and other autonomic nervous system issues post TBI (car accident, rear ended on highway in 2017) as well as poor circulation to my extremities. Neurologist suspects POTS and hypermobility are at play here as well.

Any ideas on where to go from here to manage my symptoms? What kind of doctors to see? Etc…

EDIT: I’m in the New York City area if anybody has specific recs
