Do I have POTS?

I just got off of a bad drug (Geodon). I had very severe reactions to it.

Now I have all these heart issues. I'm concerned because most of the time when I stand up my HR goes up by 10-20 BPM. However occassionally it goes up by 30 BPM. Do I have POTS?

I want to get checked out due to a similar drug(invega), my heart rate really accelerates when standing and Im not on my beta blocker. I also have other symptoms.

Sounds like a perfectly normal physiological reaction that we all experience upon standing.
