My husband is 54 and woke up this morning and shortly afterwards he said felt cold and started sweating, dizzy and nauseous, he vomited and says he feels more dizzy when he lays down. He takes high blood pressure less and is controlled. Also takes cholesteral need and is also controlled there. What is happening?
Hi. If I were your treating doctor for this case of dizziness, nausea,sweating I would come up with following possibilities:1) The first possibility is of Low blood sugar (Hypoglycemia). Diagnosis can be done by measuring capillary blood glucose level using Glucometer. If it is less than 60 mg/DL then it is hypoglycemia.2) The second possibility is of cardiac problem such as underlying ischemic heart disease. It can be ruled out by doing ECG and echocardiography3) The third possibility is of panic attack in which person feels nauseous, profuse sweating, dizziness. I strongly suggest you to consult physician and get sugar level, ECG done. I hope this would have helped you to approach further. If you have any additional questions, let me know. I will be more than happy to answer wishing you good healthRegards
