Overheating episodes

This is what my lifelong "overheating" episodes are like. I was wondering if any of these look familiar to you. All of the following happens instantly after exerting for a short period:
- Feel very overheated
- Intense pressure/burning sensation in head and ears
- Heart feels "thick" and is suddenly double(?) speed
- I feel wierd irratic heartbeat flutters
- vision starts greying out, feels like I'm going to pass out
- people that have seen it say I turn grey/white
- Have to stop everything, subsides between 10 seconds - 1minute.
- Have to avoid "sudden"/intense exercise like sprinting... have to work up to it
- Have learned to feel it coming on and avoid it most of the time

The first most severe episode I remember is passing out while running in 7th grade gym class. Despite this I've carefully exercised for many years.

More severe symptoms started a few years ago. In that time I've had just about every test known to man including a spinal tap and seen just about every type of specialist. They'd pretty much had given up. Then basically by accident, a reproductive doc found absense of the vas. Now looking back, every one of the things I told the docs should have made them suspicious of CF. Only thing is my lung xray is clear.

So I'm confused by this post, do you have CF or not? Clear lungs don't mean you do or don't have CF. I had NO lung involvement until my late 30's. How did you end up at a reproductive doc? What did they say about the missing vas?
