Suggest Treatment For Dizziness And Severe Sweating
Question: All of a sudden I felt dizzy, hot, sweaty
Brief Answer:
Some tests are needed
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to HCM. Thank you for your question. I read your query.
These may be physiological symptoms that happen after a physical stress, sudden changes in positions from lying down to standing up, or as a result of consuming caffeine-containing beverages, tobacco, alcohol etc. In this case, they do not have any medical underlying cause, and there is nothing to be worried about.
However, if this concerns you and is happening to you for the first time, excluding the upper-mentioned circumstances, I would recommend you to go to your general practitioner, since some routine check-up tests should be run to start with:
- a complete biochemical panel - blood glucose, liver function enzymes, kidney function tests, electrolytes
- a complete thyroid panel - TSH, fT3, fT4
- a complete blood count
- an EKG
Depending on the results of these tests, further tests and treatment may be needed.
I hope I have been of help. I am happy to help, if you have follow-up questions.
Kind regards,
Dr. Meriton
