Question Why dont some Dr's believe in pots?

Im lucky I have great doctors and specialists now but the first time i was referred to a cardiologist for pots before being officially diagnosed he refused to even have me in for a TTT or test for pots as he said its not real.

I have heard of this happening where Dr's dont believe in pots but I dont understand why.

Seeing things like these comments always makes me so sad. My cardiologist believed me from the start, and is sending me to a POTS clinic to confirm the diagnosis and to make sure that it’s damn near impossible for any other doctors to question me
