What Causes Dizziness, Sweating And Loss Of Vision After Traveling By Flight?

Cause of syncopal attack
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX thanks for asking from HCM.
I can understand your concern. Your son had a syncopal attack. Syncope means sudden lowering of blood pressure and perfusion to brain, resulting into activation of autonomic system to recover from it. This autonomic system leads to dizziness, perspiration, nausea or vomiting, blackout. All these are reversed after recovering from attack.
In case of your son, the cause of this syncopal attack can be-
- any outside/bad food leading to food poisoning
- Change in atmospheric pressure during the flight journey which the body took time to adjust
- Dehydration
- Low blood pressure
- Anxiety
As he is still experiencing some dizziness, please tell him to-
- Take plenty of water
- Get his BP checked to rule out hypotension (low BP from the baseline)
- Take tablet Betahistine for vertigo (prescription may be needed from the local physician)
- Take some rest for the time being
- Avoid hot weather, dehydration
If still no relief, please let me know the complaints. I will be happy to help.
Thanks.
Take care


Thanks a lot for appreciation
