Excessive Sweating, Lightheadedness, Dizziness And Nausea. Causes?

I went to bed and was feeling fine, but then after a little while i started to sweat a bit. Very suddenly I felt light headed and got out of bed, feeling like i might pass out. That feeling passed, but now I am sitting on my couch a little light headed, a little nautious, and my whole body wont stop shaking. What do i do?

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.

The most likely cause of dizziness and excessive sweating is an anxiety disorder.Dizziness (lightheadedness) is often caused by a decrease in blood supply to the brain.It is also a common complaint in people who have low blood pressure. I suggest you to get your blood pressure checked out, do relaxation exercises and consult your doctor for further evaluation.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
