What Causes Fuzzy Vision And Loss Of Hearing?

My 18 year old son told me that his vision started to go dark and fuzzy and he lost almost all of his ability to hear; everything was muffled and he felt like he was going to pass out. When he got up out of his chair to go and get water he felt better. He drank about 4 handfuls full of water and then it got better.

Hello!

My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you on Healthcaremagic!

Your son's symptoms could be related to dehydration or low blood pressure. Anxiety can also mimic this clinical situation.
If the problem persists, I would recommend consulting with his GP for a physical exam and some tests (complete blood count, thyroid hormone levels, fasting glucose, kidney and liver function tests, blood electrolytes), a resting ECG.
Meanwhile, it is necessary to monitor his blood pressure values. A good hydration and a balanced diet are necessary to prevent these episodes from occurring in the future.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best regards!
