Any research on relationship between POTS and EBV?

Hi,
Has there been any research on
POTS or dysautonomia occurring after the Epstein-Barr virus?

I have my lab test from 2013 which shows EBV ab VCA IgG at 2.7 (normal range 0.9-1.0 ) and
EBV Nuclear Antigen ab IgG at 8.0 (normal range 0.9-1.0)
But my doctor seems to think EBV only effects the body when it's in it's active state and then becomes dormant.
Any thoughts?
