Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Sudden Sweating With Trembling,weakness,headaches And Palpitations?
today while shopping, I got so sweaty that my shirt was soaked, started to tremble, felt weak, headache, heart started papitating, hyperventilating, got home, collapsed in bed, woke up 2 hours later feeling ok. I am 65 never happened before. Not sure what happened.
Are you a heart patient, having high bp, cholesterol, smoking, chest pain, diabetes, or stress? Have you checked your blood pressure during the episode? This should be evaluated. Get an ECG, echo and if needed TMT done.
Also get lipid profile and sugar tested. This could be a panic attack or heart problem. We will need to rule out heart problem before labelling it as panic attack. So get the above test done and let me know if it recurs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Sagar Makode
