To challenge the cardiologist on this?

I have been having cardiac symptoms for the last few months that all points towards POTS.

I saw the cardiologist who said it had to be a minimum increase of 40bpm when standing, mine was around 30bpm. She then said it wasn’t POTS based on this.

Based on the POTS website and nice guidelines it should be 30bpm in adults so I would have met the criteria.

Do I go back to the cardiologist and challenge this and request a tilt test?

Absolutely! And ask for a second opinion and review. Sounds like you’re being fobbed off.
