What Causes Lower Back Pain, Sudden Sweating, Blurry Vision And Vomiting?

Posted on Thu, 30 Jun 2016

Question: I just had dinner and was cleaning up and first thing I noticed was my lower back started hurting, then suddenly started sweating (and I never sweat) and started to black out. My vision was starting to get bad. I vomited and now am feeling better. Vision back to normal and no more sweating although my back still hurts.

Brief Answer:
Get investigated and consult neurologist

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
You need to get your blood pressure measured for any postural hypotension.
Is there any cardiac illness or any other illness?
Low back pain doesn't lead to loss of consciousness.
Cervical region pain may be associated with such features.
Examination is required to get to a definite diagnosis.
Visit a neurologist or physician at the earliest.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

I have otherwise very healthy and am rarely sick with even a cold. Only prescribed medication is Armour Thyroid 30 mg daily & Restasis for dry eyes. I give blood regularly and did so today. My Blood pressure was 138/84. My only other concern is diabetes. I do have high sugar and my mother had diabetes.

Hello,
What diabetes medications are you taking?Any insulin administration? Possibility of hypoglycemia should be considered. I will suggest to see your treating doctor to rule out blood sugar changes and possiblity of presyncopal attack.
