What Could Be The Reason For Nausea,vertigo And Thirsty?

I am experiencing nausea, vertigo and am thirsty. This has been going on for about 5-10 minutes. It's happened once or twice before, but not lasted this long. I am 64, HIV+, my CD4s were 450 three months ago (had been 600+ before that), and my viral load has been undetectable for years. Stroke runs in my family and I have borderline sugar issues.

Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms may be related to low blood pressure and borderline blood sugar.

Have you measured your blood pressure during these days?

I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination and some blood lab tests:

-blood fasting glucose
-glucose tolerance test
-HbA1C
-blood osmolarity.

Urine osmolarity may be needed.

Meanwhile I recommend modifying your diet (a diabetic diet, avoid sugar intake) and take plenty of fluids.

Hope to have been helpful!

Best wishes!

Dr. Ilir
