Yeah it's not something you can self report. POTS diagnosis requires an increase in the heart rate by over 30bpm within a period of 10 minutes after standing up, without a significant drop in blood pressure. Usually done using a tilt table test.
Unless you have a blood pressure and heart rate arm cuff montior, and know how to use it properly without getting junk data, it's not something you can self diagnose or report.
I know all this because I actually had to diagnose myself to get taken seriously by doctors. Until I showed them video and photos of the test I did with the arm cuff they didn't take it seriously. Then they actually took it seriously and referred me to a cardiologist so I could get a proper diagnosis done.
If someone got POTS from the vaccine that obviously sucks but your chances of getting POTS from covid 19 itself are much, much higher, and you can't self report that you have pots because you felt dizzy while getting up once after the vaccine. Because many things can cause that, like orthostatic hypotension for example.
