Twisted Ankle, Weakness, Nausea, Dizziness, Blurred Vision, Hearing Loss, Limping While Walking. Treatment?
Stepped off curb and twisted my ankle (inward). I had a rush of overwhelming weak/hot/nauseous feeling and thought I was going to pass out. My vision was blurry and I felt dizzy. Also lost hearing in right ear temporarily (it was my left foot ). I don t have any swelling and I can put weight on my foot but I naturally want to limp. Turning it inward is somewhat painful. What do I do and why did my body respond this way?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The response of your body was due to the sudden shock of the injury. Since there is a mild pain on weight bearing and turning the foot, a bone injury is likely. You should get an X-ray of the area to confirm.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
