Question: My wife sweated excessively today working in the yard with 90+ temps. She bent over to smell a flower and became dizzy-about 90 minutes ago. Since then she has suffered other bouts of dizziness. She is 75 years of age. She has been drinking Smart Water to increase her electrolytes for the last 15 minutes. Her blood pressure is 115/55. She is lying down with her feet up. What do you suggest?

Hello Sir
After going through the medical details provided by you I understand your concern for her health and I would like to tell you that probably she had some episode of postural hypotension and your first aid also seems fine.
Once she feel little better kindly take her to ER and get her blood sugars , blood pressure checked and an ecg done. ECG is important considering her age and symptoms.
I hope this information will be helpful.
Kind regards
