It's not that rare!

Okay, I've been told my medical condition is not that uncommon, but just how many of you have even heard of neuro-cardiogenic syncope? Basically it's a condition where the heart and brain miscommunicate periodically. When your heart rate goes up, your blood pressure is supposed to also, however in people with this condition, like me, sometimes the blood pressure plummets causing an opposite effect and my heart rate plummets causing many symptoms. Among the symptoms are, nausea, lightheadedness, dizziness, fainting, weakness, blurred vision, slurred speach, headaches and angina. Those are just some of the symptoms I endure when dealing with a near syncope episode. Due to missing several days of work per month because of the episodes, I ended up having to resign. Now, almost 14 months later, I am still fighting for disability. Funny part is, by the SSA.GOV website, any condition with heart not allowing proper blood flow is supposed to be a guaranteed disability. Now that cracks me up since like most people, I was turned down the first time. Any comments? Questions? Concerns?
