What Causes Sudden Dizziness And Weakness 59year Hypotensive Woman?
I am a 59 yr old female with HTN, well-controlled with medication, and I recently have experienced SOB, dizziness, and extreme weakness. At those times, my ability to answer direct questions is compromised. I experienced these symptoms yesterday; today I feel better, although I have some SOB. I do not exercise.
