NOTHING THAT WE KNOW OF

I'm a female, 17 years old, and for 4 years I have had minor fainting problems and weakness in my legs. Lately in the past 3 weeks it has become so bad that I faint all the time, it doesn't take much. When I fainted at the doctors I had a nightmare and It was so realistic that i've been so frightened of passing out that I literally burst into tears before i know i am about to. Yesterday in class I passed out, I was apparently pale and shaking really noticeably. I always change between really cold to really hot. My blood pressure has been high lately too and we have go and done tones of tests to try and find out why but every single one of my tests are clear. Of course I'll have to do more, but I feel like  nothing wil come up, and I feel so sick all the time that I'm actually getting quite upset over it. I have stages where I'll full on burst into tears, others where I'm deadset dropping out of school cos I'm over everything, and then I'll be really happy and content. I'm in year 12 and because of this i am already so far behind in all of my studies. I don't even know what I'm really asking for, maybe if anyone has heard of the same thing? No iI haven't been stressed out ( Up until this occured at least) And I eat all my meals etc.
I've had 24 hour urine tests already, blood tests and all clear.
Symptoms include: Migraines, dizzyness, fainting, feeling sick, numb legs, sometimes numb arms and chin, fatigue - always tired, not hungry but i eat anyway and I eat a fair amount ha, upset, change of mood, lack of concentration.
Thankyou!

Have you veen sent to an electroohysiologist for a tilt table test to check you for POTs or neurocardiogenic syncope?  I have many of the same symptoms as you. I was finally diagnosed with pots,  neurocardiigenic syncope and orthostatic hypotension.
You should post this question on the dysautonomia forum. You should get some good advice there.
