Reason For Having Nausea, Cold Sweats, Weakness And Feeling Of Everything Spinning

I am a 50 year old man. I have been not feeling myself for a week. For two nights it was the worst. When I am laying down the whole room is spinning around me, I am so weak that I can not walk. I have nausea, and have had cold sweats. What can be wrong with me? When I get up and try to walk I get so weak and everything seems to spin around me.

Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
It can be due to Stroke. So , tell me following things :
1. Any Double Vision?
2. Any Dysarthria?
3. Any Vomiting?
4. Any Difficulty in swallowing?
I would suggest you for an evaluation to rule out the cause of your Vertigo , as it can be due to ENT Causes , and it can be due to Stroke. If you have any history of Diabetes , hypertension , or if you are a smoker , Stroke is a highly suspicious differential diagnosis.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you want to discuss your issues further, you may please ask us
Stay Healthy.
