POTS Dr in Portland, OR?

Question

Hey friends, I’m in a bit of a pickle. I’m out in no man’s land with my Kaiser insurance. I have the POTS dx, but after a year of trying the lifestyle changes without relief, I decided I want to try meds. I’m under the impression that the subtype will really dictate effectiveness in meds. I went to see my primary who is admittedly out of her league. She referred me to neurology. They kicked me back and said we don’t do pots. I found a cardio (I thought he was in network) down in Salem and asked for a referral and they kicked me back saying he’s out of network, you have to go to a cardio here. Cardio kicks me back saying we don’t do pots. Does anyone have ANY experience with Pots at Kaiser and could give me a name? I’ve hit up member services/coverage a couple of times and nothing. My other course would be to start experimenting with meds, but I’m less excited about that unless you can suggest something that would s more of an umbrella med. I’ve proposed switching from metoprolol to propranolol to my Dr, but she’s coming from a traditionalist practice that doesn’t know a lot about dysautonomia.
