What Causes Extreme Dizziness Along With Fatigue, Confusion And Nausea?
I had an episode the other day like nothing I ever had before. Extreme dizziness with weakness, confusion, nausea, and stomach cramps. Hypoglycemia vs heat stroke. I m on Metformin for insulin resistance but hga1c always good, no sticks required. Hot weather but I was not home and building was air conditioned.

hi i see your concern to this
symptoms are quite similar to each other for heat stroke and hypoglycemia
but look you dont have any history of sweating that is main symptom in hypoglycemia
but one thing i want to mention over here that you dont need to worry about medicine
metformin has a very very rare episode of hypoglycemia with it
so please be sure that its a heat stroke and stay in cool places
