What Causes Sudden Vomiting Sensation, Dizziness And Excessive Sweating?

I am 57 and in good health. Today I had an episode where I felt like I was going to faint and throw up and I was really dizzy. I run 2 times a week and am about 15 pounds overweight. I was also sweating profusely. I was having lunch with a couple friends. And suddenly didn t feel well. It came on fast. Then after about 20 minutes or so I felt better. I never actually fainted.

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to an inner ear disorder or a possible TIA (transient ischemic attack). For this reason, I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:

-a resting ECG and a cardiac ultrasound
- a Doppler ultrasound of the carotid arteries for possible narrowing
- blood electrolytes
- complete blood count.

Consulting with an ENT specialist may be needed if all the above tests result normal.
I would also recommend performing a brain MRI, just to be sure that everything is OK.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Wishing all the best,
Dr. Iliri
