What Causes Sudden Profuse Sweating And Loss Of Vision?
Question: I have had two episodes where I have passed out. I start sweating, my hearing starts to go and then my vision. Then I'm out. 1st time I did not eat all day then I ate something quickly rushed to the airport and sat down to have a massage. 2nd time I flew home when I got home I had a very sweet glass of wine went out to dinner and when we sat down at dinner..the same thing started sweating.... any ideas?
Brief Answer:
Get investigated as advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Both these episodes seems to be presyncopal or syncopal episodes.
The cause may be cardiac or circulatory.
Is there any history of frothing from mouth, posturing of limbs or face, tongue bite?
You need to get thoroughly investigated.
Get ECG, 2D Echo, blood pressure measurement, autonomic function testing.
Blood sugar, liver function and renal function to be done.
In case of seizure, EEG and brain MRI may be required.
Upload any reports or prescription.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further queries.
