Along with heat sensitivity, fluctuating swallowing, breathless issues, and balance/unsteadiness issues.

Have you been worked up for myasthenia gravis?
That is an autoimmune disorder that attacks muscles, breathing and swallowing. From what I have read there, many neuros are not well versed with it, and getting proper treatment and attention requires several different doctor explorations.
Some people test negative on the various antibody tests for it too.
Here is their forum:
