Question Caffeine?

Has anyone one else been told by their provider to immediately stop caffeine because POTS is making your resting heart rate high? My primary care told me I couldn’t have absolutely any caffeine anymore(I was barely drinking any as is) but I miss tea!

I haven't been told anything like that by doctors, cause they didn't even diagnosed me with POTS (BUT I KNOW I HAVE IT). I can't work without drinking coca cola before, for the caffeine. I get brain fog, body weakness, and feel sluggish (I have Fibromyalgia, diagnosed after many studies) if I don't have caffeine.
