The young man does recall being talked to during his time of unconsciousness. THis 15 year old has mild autism and has a history of relatively good health.

Hi,
There are many causes for excessive sweating followed by giddiness, like hypoglycemia, anemia, myocardial infraction, stroke, electrolyte imbalance, seizure disorder etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use tablet Pantoprazole. Please check your blood pressure and blood sugar. Check for hemoglobin status, thyroid profile etc.
Avoid high risk activities, accompany with one person. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
