What Causes Dizziness Along With Sweating?
Question: I just had a bout of dizziness with leaning to the right side and sweating. It stopped after 5 minutes. Should I go to the ER or wait till tomorrow to see my doctor?
Brief Answer:
Need to go to ER
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
Dizziness and sweating is often associated with the heart, most likely to be an arrhythmia as it settled down after 5 min. I recommend that you go to the ER and get an EKG done immediately.
In the mean time
1. Do not exert yourself
2. Do not climb stairs
3. Do not lift heavy weights
4. Avoid having a meal until you reach ER
5. Try not driving yourself to the ER
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
Regards
