Suggest Treatment For Dizzy Spells Along With Blurred Vision And Sweating
Every once in a while i have a spell, it starts by me getting light headed and dizzy, my vision gets blurry, then i break out in sweats, i get very hot and then very cold, so weak i cant even lift my arms, i get extremely pale and have even completley passed out on a couple of occassions. the spell lasts for about 5 minutes and then i feel fine. They also seem to just come out of no where. I am 29 years old and have been getting these spells for about 5 years, but only one every few months.

Hi,
There can be various reasons for your episodes of dizziness and lightheadedness. It can be due to disorders of brain (infections or swelling), heart disorders (usually arrhythmia - rhythm disturbances) or disorders of ear (benign positional vertigo, infections of ear - labyrinthitis, swelling of the nerves- neuritis). Even sometimes cervical spondylosis (neck problems) can also cause such symptoms. Besides this anemia, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), hypotension (low blood pressure), prolonged fasting, lack of sleep, electrolyte imbalance (abnormal salts in the body).
I feel that, first of all, you can take care of your lifestyle, take good balanced diet, have proper sleep and maintain proper posture. But along with that do go for some investigations like complete blood count, TSH, electrolytes, ECG and MRI (brain). This will help us to make exact diagnosis and then plan proper treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
