What Causes Sudden Nausea And Dizziness?

Posted on Mon, 18 Jul 2016

Question: About an hour ago, when I was sitting watching a movie on TV, I suddenly became lightheaded and everything began spinning as I looked at things around me. I broke into a cold sweat from my waist up for about 10
minutes. When that stopped, I had nausea and more lightheadedness. No pain, no headache, no muscle
ache, no short of breath. No problem in speaking.

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
These signs and symptoms can be there because of many reasons including low blood sugar levels and heart related issues.
Since it could mean a heart attack also,you must visit ER immediately to rule it out even if you are normal now and not having any problem at the moment.
These symptoms could also be due to low blood sugar levels and specially if you are a diabetic.
Rush to ER immediately.
I hope it helps,however You are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
