[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP what people are trying to gently tell you and DD is that the incremental approach your doctor is leading you down is not appropriate. This is not POTS related.
DD either has serious kidney disease or a heart issue like congestive heart failure or cardiomyopathy. 
Please go to the ER and thus she will get specialists asap. Sibley, VHC. Not some minute clinic. [/quote]

Agreed. This is actually ER-worthy.[/quote]

This is OP. I was typing the other post and now seeing this one. Thanks for this input. I have been very concerned about how this is progressing and was surprised her own PCP isn’t actions with more urgency. The new cardiologist can’t see her until October. I agree this is more urgent than that. [/quote]

This is why a lot of patients end up in the ER, actually. Sometimes it's because there's a question as to whether symptoms are life-threatening (this is your daughter's case), and sometimes it's because patients can't get to specialists in a timely manner outside the ER (also, perhaps, your daughter's case).

Best of luck, OP.
