Lightheaded, Spinning Feeling And Sweating. What Could Be The Reason?

Was at work and feeling fine when I suddenly got a little light headed and then the room started spinning g real bad and so I sat down and then I started sweating to the point it was dripping off my face and left a wet mark on the desk where my arms were resting. After I sat for about 10 minutes it went away. Now I feel light headed

Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

Your symptoms are suggestive of pre-syncope, where the blood supply to the brain is reduced for a short while.

The predisposing conditions include exhaustion, tiredness, lack of sleep, hunger, fever, etc.

There is no need to worry. You can consult your GP and get a general evaluation done. Low haemoglobin (anemia) should also be excluded.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
