Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

After going through the medical details provided by you I understand your concern and would like to tell you that the symptoms which you are experiencing usually happens due to arrhythmia of heart rhythm which require evaluation so that the underlying problem can be diagnosed and then treated accordingly.

1. Holter monitoring
2. Complete blood work
3. Thyroid function test
4. Echocardiography

These are the 4 tests which has to be done for proper evaluation. Yes POTS CAN ALSO CAUSE such symptoms but they usually happen when there is sudden change in position of the body.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
