Confused about POTS Diagnosis and Heart Rate Results

After diagnosing me with EDS my consultant said he thinks I have POTS. I had a 24hr ECG abd have just been told it was satisfactory despite my heart rate being 160 after standing. I'm confused... what does this actually mean?

Mine was diagnosed with a tilt table test. I don’t know if you could ask for additional testing? If you are passing out or having issues with positional changes that’s not normal. It took me months and multiple test to finally be diagnosed. They wanted to put me on anxiety meds telling me it was in my head, it wasn’t. Hang in there and keep advocating for yourself!
