I have been fainting for about 5 years with no diagnosis. Wondering if someone can help.

Fainting only lasts about 1 min than im back to pretty much normal. I also get lightheaded, weakness, fatigue, headaches, shakeyness, sickness, and brain fog, anyone got any advice? Thankyou. X

Yes I have dysautonomia every symptom you named I have the peripheral neuropathy and Eryomythecian or EM we were talking about is a symptom of the bigger picture dysautonomia your automatic nervous system is affected that is all processes your body should do automatically. Sugar and metabolism can be affected even wout diabetes and blood pressure regulation which causes fainting light headedness shakiness nausea digestion is affected another syndrome with it is POTS this causes fainting especially if standing up to fast I would ask for a tilt table test

Thank you. I have recently been referred for a tilt table test as they suspect something like POTS, but due to the currant circumstances I will likely be on a long waiting list.
