What Causes Lightheadedness, Dizziness, Sweating And Weight Gain?

Hi, I am experiencing weight gain because I feel like I need to eat small amount of food all day to keep going. I can eat a healthy breakfast but within 4 hours or so I have to eat again even if it is just snack on some peanuts or chips or a banana because if I do not I will get shaky, light headed, dizzy sweaty and just overall feel terrible! I had a full physical last year, nothing found with blood sugar levels being too high or too low. What could this be?

Hi Dear .

Welcome to HCM

Understanding your concern .As per your query you have lightheartedness and dizziness with comes and goes. no headaches but sometimes feel wobbly . Well there can be many reasons for vertigo like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo , Vertigo may also be caused by inflammation within the inner ear sometimes due to infection , meniere's disease , acoustic neuroma , sinusitis and multiple sclerosis .Sometimes there are simple reasons like low blood sugar or iron level and anxiety are also responsible . I suggest you to consult with ENT specialist for proper checkup . Doctor may order certain test like CT scan , MRI , blood test , audiometery test , rotatory chair test and ECG to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe ant emetic drug , sedatives , antibiotics and some ear aid .Doctor may also recommend vestibular therapy . For now avoid bending foreword , take steam , drink green tea thrice a day and do light exercises daily .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
