Chemo related syncope/vasovagl

Anyone out there have syncope/vasovagal/fainting episodes since beginning chemo? I had my first one in January after my 4th cycle of taxotere/Herceptin/perjeta. Ended up with a lovely ambulance ride, six stitches in my chin, and four chipped teeth. Just had a second one a week ago. The second one followed my daughter's wedding at the end and I felt it coming on so I was able to avoid the drama and injuries of the first one. I have had a full neurological work up following the first one, two brain MRIs and an EEG. Also had an EKG done with the first one, all of these tests came back perfectly normal. Now my oncologist wants me to have a full heart workup with a cardiologist. Anyone else experience any of these syncope symptoms? And if so what was the cause and how was the cause determined?
