Hi,

Your husband seems to be having a condition called vasovagal reaction. It is due to stimulation of a nerve called vagus which can cause light headedness and cold sweats. There is nothing to worry about it however you can advise your husband to lie down or sit in a safe place to avoid falling down when such a spell happens.

In addition to above I would advise you to get his blood pressure monitored regularly twice a day and review the medications with BP recording and also get investigated for chest pain.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Anoop Kumar, General & Family Physician
