I feel like I’m going crazy, I’ve been to the hospital so many times and currently seeing a cardiologist

I (22m) feel like I have some type of dysautonomia, likely POTS but my doctor said he thinks everything is due to anxiety.
-Fast pounding heart beats upon standing, when awakening, after eating, or making sudden movements
-Lightheaded upon standing, bending over or after squatting
-Fast heart rate when walking around the house, or doing basic chores (heart rate was between 115-150 just doing an oil change)
-Slow hard beats when startled, excited, or jump scared (Random drops in heart rate)
-Sensation of blood rushing through my chest, up into my head when standing
-Shortness of breath when doing anything physical
-Tingly/hot feet when standing for long periods of time
-Heart beats slow and fast after sitting down when having episodes of tachycardia
-Fatigue
-Extreme episodes of anxiety
-Exercise intolerance
-Depression
-Stress
-Sweaty hands and feet
-Pains in chest,back, and neck that come n go
-Feeling weak on some days
-Recently started getting more skipped beats

22 male, I’ve been to the hospital 8 times, multiple doctor visits and have done 10 EKGs,7 chest X-rays, a whole lot of blood work but was told no signs of heart attacks, or blood clots.

I’m currently seeing an cardiologist and I’m waiting for my echo and heart monitor results, but I’m just wondering if anyone here is experiencing the same thing or know what It can be. I’m tired of going to the hospital and being told it’s just anxiety and that I have to see a cardiologist, ive been dealing with this for so long and no answers or help. Here’s what I’ve been experiencing:
\-Fast pounding heart beats upon standing, when awakening, after eating, or making sudden movements
\-Lightheaded upon standing, bending over or after squatting
\-Fast heart rate when walking around the house, or doing basic chores
\-Slow hard beats when startled, excited, or jump scared (Random drops in heart rate)
\-Sensation of blood rushing through my chest, up into my head when standing
\-Shortness of breath when doing anything physical
\-Tingly/hot feet when standing for long periods of time
\-Heart beats slow and fast after sitting down when having episodes of tachycardia
\-Fatigue
\-Extreme episodes of anxiety
\-Exercise intolerance
\-Depression
\-Stress
\-Sweaty hands and feet
\-Pains in chest,back, and neck that come n go

I’ve been experiencing shortness of breath and palpitations since October of last year, and on November after thanksgiving I was rushed to the hospital. The symptoms were the same as a panic attack or what they thought was, alcohol withdrawals because I had drank a bunch the night before. As time passed it got worse and these are my current symptoms:

\-Fast pounding heart beats upon standing, when awakening, after eating, or making a sudden movements
\-Lightheaded upon standing, bending over or after squatting
\-Fast heart rate when walking around the house, or doing basic chores
\-Slow hard beats when startled, excited, or jump scared
\-Sensation of blood rushing through my chest, up into my head when standing
\-Shortness of breath that comes and goes especially if doing something physical
\-Tingly/hot feet when standing for long periods of time
\-Heart beats slow and fast after sitting down when having episodes of tachycardia
\-Fatigue
\-Extreme episodes of anxiety
\-Exercise intolerance
\-Depression
\-Stress
\-Sweaty hands and feet
\-Pains in chest,back, and neck that come n go
\-Feeling weak on some days
\-Pressure in stomach when lifting

I’m so tired of going the doctors and not getting help, I feel so useless, and is causing really stressful times. I’m thinking it’s some type of dysautonomia but I don’t know what to think anymore, I’ve went to the hospital so many times and they look really bothered the last time I went. They just tell me that I gotta see a cardiologist and that the blood tests, X-rays, and EKGs look normal then I just go home feeling the same. I’m only 22 and this is affecting me real bad, I’ve gotten severe anxiety, and depression from this. I feel stuck and feel like my life is over.
