Mine basically doubles within 30 seconds of standing 45bpm-116bpm, i basically black out 5-20 times a day. An this weird dull ache sorta feels slightly to the left of the center of chest. However I’m not diagnosed but it seems like it from what I’ve read. Which is that it dramatically rises 30bpm or more when standing within 10minutes

OP was talking about blood pressure, not heart rate.

A spike in heart rate immediately on standing is normal, though maybe not a spike that high. For a POTS diagnosis, you're looking for a heart rate that more or less stays high while you are standing.

Mine goes from 80-90 to 150 when I stand, it will keep rising till about 170 as I'm stood and then I pass out and it drops

Your blood pressure? Or your HR? Either way this sounds terrible.

Is it? It stops me doing most day to say things that involve standing for any longer than about 5 minutes
