I’m so sorry this is happening to you. I have near syncope episodes where all of my strength leaves my body and I have to hold on or sit down. It lasts for a minute or two and I return to normal. The doctor (and a stress test) believe it is ischemic blood flow to my heart. I have an angiogram scheduled for next week. Have you and your doctor considered something like this?

Many thanks rocksology. I appreciate your response.
Yes, over the years I've had my heart checked out often with several stress tests, if you mean on a treadmill, and they've always been OK. Although on my last test in all four of my limbs and my torso the muscles or nerves, I don't know which, were trembling for about 30 minutes afterwards. I did have an angiogram when all this started happening and that was fine too.
When the drop attacks happen and I don't recover quickly, I struggle to walk properly (as if I'm drunk), can't talk properly and have no real idea of what I'm doing. On more than one occasion, my wife has had to lead me by the hand because I'm so out of it physically and mentally. And I'm like this for hours. Does this happen to you? I presume because you've replied that you might have PMR too. But you don't think that might have anything to do with your near syncope episodes? Thanks again.
