Hi,

This suggests autonomic dysfunction, which sometimes occur as a part of para-neoplastic syndrome. This might respond to some drugs and multi vitamin supplementation. Kindly discuss with your doctor for evaluation and treatment accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
