frequent urination, gastrointestinal problems (constipation, diarrhea), temperature regulation problems, inability to sweat, brain fog, memory problems, dizziness upon standing, erectile dysfunction (I'm a man BTW), heart palpitations, fatigue, and insomnia. The cognitive problems seemingly get worse after eating.
I was referred to see a neurologist, but unfortunately it takes about 2 months to get in the door with a neurologist in my area so I'm still waiting.
I've performed what's called the active standing test several times at this point and below are the results
test 1:
supine
2 minutes bp 124/67 heart rate 59, 5 minutes bp 128/71 heart rate 59, 10 minutes bp 122/68 heart rate 63
standing
2 minutes bp 127/88 heart rate 96, 5 minutes bp 134/89 heart rate 99, 10 minutes bp 119/89 heart rate 120
test 2:
supine
2 minutes bp 117/63 heart rate 62, 5 minutes bp 109/62 heart rate 66, 10 minutes bp 105/64 heart rate 63
standing
2 minutes bp 115/79 heart rate 91, 5 minutes bp 131/92 heart rate 83, 10 minutes bp 130/91 heart rate 95
test 3:
supine
2 minutes bp 114/63 heart rate 60, 5 minutes bp 113/64 heart rate 61, 10 minutes bp 108/63 heart rate 63
standing
2 minutes bp 119/83 heart rate 90, 5 minutes bp 124/85 heart rate 99, 10 minutes bp 119/93 heart rate 100
Do the totality of my symptoms along with the active stand test data I've taken hint at POTS or some kind of autonomic disorder?
Do these symptoms sound like POTS?

Brief backstory:
Went to my GP with these symptoms:
frequent urination, gastrointestinal problems (constipation, diarrhea), temperature regulation problems, inability to sweat, brain fog, memory problems, dizziness upon standing, erectile dysfunction (I'm a man BTW), heart palpitations, fatigue, and insomnia. The cognitive problems seemingly get worse after eating.
