What Causes Sudden Dizziness And Excessive Sweating In A Heart Patient?

Tuesday evening I was sitting while unpacking a few boxes. I reached over to put some papers on the table and I became extremely dizzy. I could not focus, it felt like my eyeballs were twirling in my head. I then began to sweat, became very nauseous and started heaving. This all lasted about 5-10 minutes. Afterwards I felt weak and tired, and felt pressure at the back of my head/neck and face, but not quite a headache. I’m female, 54, overweight and take Xarelto for chronic DVT. I also have an IVC filter because of a pulmonary embolism, approximately 4 years ago.Thank you, Mary Valdespino Sorry to have bothered, I don’t have the money to pay for the consultation.

Hello,

Your symptoms could be indicative of an inner ear disorder, blood pressure fluctuations, or a stroke. If these complaints persist, considering your past medical history, I would recommend performing a brain CT scan or MRI.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
