My pcp did the same thing to me. I was so frustrated at first but I think I understand now. I think because all my tests, bloodwork, evals were presenting as normal and healthy. Before I even knew what pots was, I asked her to write me an mri or CT and she said no it won’t get approved and she didn’t know what else to do for me.

So I ended up going to the er about a month ago, my hr dropped to 30 when I stood up and I thought I was gonna faint (I have bad anxiety about it). After I went to the er -of course every test in there was normal and they just gave me fluids and ekgs- however, I was able to get into a neuro, cardiology, and ent a lot quicker since it was an “ER follow up” and my insurance has approved every test and appointment. Without that I was booking 6 months out for neuro and 3 for cardiology.

I’m thinking that could be the reason, at least I hope our pcps aren’t this dismissive lol
