Dear syncopy person,
The nerves controlling the heart are affected in a similar manner as the brain is so it is not too unusual for people who have neuopathies (you probably have some peripheral neuropathies, too!) to have these other things.
This sounds crazy, but I am writing a paper and a book about the subject having been a physician for thirty years: and eventually figured it out.
What are you on now? I will give you some ideas and if you think they have merit you can try them. I am ret. now, just writing, so I do not really treat anyone personally. Stopped five years ago.
You probably also have rheumatic disease of some kind, like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus or something like that. Some people have Raynaud's syndrome, cold fingers, etc. That is an autonomic neuropathy.
