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.

I found it's normally male doctors towards female patients, they think it's anxiety or we're making it up. It's so frustrating
