Hello,
Your symptoms of dizziness with sweating with crushing pain in chest. As you are connecting to high carbohydrate food (cake) 14 hours before (which looks like reactive hypoglycemia occurring after high carbohydrate diet) could also be a cardiac problem because of the crushing chest pain, it occurred while walking and also repeated second time in 6 months.
I would advise for consultation of a cardiologist, get investigated to exclude/find cardiac origin of the problem and get specifically treated. Stop smoking, (if you are), reduce weight, avoid physical or psychological stress till you see the doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale
