What Causes Dizziness Along With Fatigue And Nausea?

a few nights ago all of a sudden i started feeling very dizzy, light headed, weak and nauseous. I started violently throwing up i had diarrhea i was urinating on myself. by the time i went to the emergency i lost consciousness. At the hospital after they did all the tests, they determined that I did not have a stroke or a heart attack and concluded that i must of had a bad case of vertigo. I am not sure of that. Since I left the hospital my legs have been feeling very weak and wobbly and just don t feel well. is that normal?

Hello,

As you have checked with a Hospital, thus the attending Doctor must have given due consideration regarding your symptoms, but since I'm unable to examine you directly, thus my approach in your case would be:
i. As the age advances Cervical spondylitis is the commonest cause, even then:
ii. If symptoms are severe or associated with any neurological sign, consult a Neurologist.
iii. Check with your blood pressure, neck movements and look for pallor & murmur [Cardiologist opinion], and ask for cochlear symptoms [deafness & tinnitus] & vestibular symptoms [vertigo & nystagmus]
iv. If the symptoms are not promptly controlled, ask for Hb%, X-ray cervical spine [AP & Lateral], ENT & Ophthalmic checkup till then:

- bed rest, avoid movements if symptoms are severe.
- tablet cinnarizine [thrice daily] till symptoms are controlled.
- capsules B complex: twice daily.

Check baseline investigations like serum electrolytes, thyroid, and cholesterol profile and blood sugar level.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Munish Sood
