Dysautonomia: Dysautonomia syndrome may cause these symptoms. Try avoidance of stimulants, ensuring hydration, using magnesium, vitamin D, omega fish oils (www.cardiamin.com, use code: CMC), low dose beta blockers e.g. propranolol 5 to 10mg 2 to 3 times daily and SSRIs e.g. citalopram 5 to 10mg daily.
