The symptoms of POTS generally do dissipate overtime, but not always completely. As a 22 year old male who was also diagnosed with POTS at 13, I can say I've struggled with much of what you're going through currently. Including but not limited to every single symptom you've listed, as well as doctors telling me it was all in my head.
The "brain fog" was/is the most frustrating part of the illness for me. During my worst periods it was also negatively impacting my memory. The doctors had me on Provigil for awhile, which worked wonders. So if that particular aspect becomes a big issue I'd look into it. (Careful, it is addicting.)
But like I said, it does get better and I wish you the best of luck!
