What Causes Sudden Weakness And Dizziness?

I just got a sudden onset of extreme weakness, dizziness, totally out of it. My arm was limp, I didn't have the energy to move. This has happened probably 1/2 a dozen time in the last 2 months. This comes out of nowhere, and I am stuck on the couch and can't move and then it usually subsides in about an hour.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, it appears to be the epilepsy, or some deficiency
symptom.
I advise you to consult a neurologist for diagnosis and treatment.
You may need to have E.E.G, C.T.scan, and other tests for diagnosis.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms phenytoin, ranitidine, multivitamins till the diagnosis is established.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
