What Could Be The Cause Of My Cold Sweats, Lightheadedness And Muffled Hearing After Falling?

26 yo female - 5 6 145lbs. I recently missed the bottom 2 stairs and fractured my ankle. I have been to the DR recently for an annual physical. All bloodwork/labs show normal including thyroid and hormones. The night I fell and fractured my ankle, about 5 min after the fall I got extremely hot, started sweating, and got light headed. I felt like I was going to pass out. I lost hearing except for a high pitch ringing noise. This lasted a minute or two. This was by far the most extreme version of this happening, but I have had this happen several time before. What could be the cause of my cold sweats, light headedness, and muffled hearing???

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to low blood pressure, probably caused by a physiological reaction to the pain and trauma.

In my opinion, there is nothing concerning in this situation, considering the trauma you have gone through.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
