Dizziness And Profuse Sweating After A Sprained Ankle. Taking Thyronorm. High Cholesterol Levels. Any Suggestions?

1. While getting out of Mumbai local train at evening rush hour, someone pushed me and my leg got sprained; I did not fall down. I got dizziness immediately, with profuse sweating. It took 15-20 minutes for me to become normal, with no symptoms afterwards. A similar incident happened a month back while inside the local train.
2. I am having 125 mg thyronorm due to thyroid. Health check-up did not throw anything special, even though my triglyceride level is a bit high at 227 with no accompanying cholestrol compaints.
3. Why do I get dizziness after get sprain? Any advice? I follow a healthy lifestyle, with 30 minutes brisk walk every day. Age 45. Male.

Hi !
Thank you for your query.

Dear sir ,

Spraining of ankle leads to very sharp pain which leaves the patient wincing , sudden excessive pain leads to sympathetic stimulation leading to sweating . but it is very difficult to attribute this episode to mere pain related as you said you have sweating earlier also .
You have hypothyroidism which itself leads to deranged lipid profile which inturn is a risk factor for coronary events. I advise you to immediately visit your cardiologist get ECG , TMT and 2D ECHO done to rule out any cardiac problem ,plus starting drugs to for your deranged lipid profile .

If you have any further queries feel free to ask.
Wish you good health.
Take care.
Dr. Shruti
