My boyfriend has all these symptoms: dizziness, confusion, spotty vision, pounding fast heart rate when standing up or sitting down, ringing ears, feeling like he can't hold his urine when he has to go it needs to be immediate and also frequent urination at least 10 times per day, abdominal pain, constantly bloated, GERD, digestion issues (food sits in his stomach undigested for hours), nausea, cold hands and feet (we live in AZ it's not normal to have freezing hands and feet here), faint feeling, gasping at night from a dead sleep (feeling like he wasn't breathing), sleep apnea (undiagnosed).
We have been in and out of hospitals to several specialists and still no diagnosis. He was given a beta blocker about 5 years ago after 10 years of agony and doctors telling him he had anxiety and that it was all in his head. The beta blocker has helped the fast heart rate, and he is more functioning, but it has not fixed him completely he still has all the other symptoms daily. We have had multiple EKG, circulation test, heart catheder, electro cardio gram, nuclear stress test, bravo capsule test, upper and lower endoscopy, MRI, CAT scan, tilt table test, stomach emptying test, multiple CT scans, thyroid and adrenal gland tests etc.
He has only been diagnosed with GERD and semi diagnosis of POTS, also doctors have said he has a hiatal hernia, also the stomach emptying tests with a barium coated hard boiled egg and barium water took 1 hr for food to empty and 2 hrs for the water. The bravo capsule test results were that he has excessive stomach acid about 4 and a half hours per day ( a person diagnosed with acid reflux has about 15 min. per day).
Any information helps. Thanks

Has he been bit by a tick? On the nights that he is sick is he eating meat (mammal not poultry) earlier that day? If so, look up alpha gal. Its a delayed reaction to meat.
