Continuous Light Headedness, Nausea, Loss Of Appetite, Profuse Sweating With Occasional Headache. What Could It Be?
The last 3 days he has been severely lightheaded (couldn t get out of bed yesterday), nauseous, loss of appetite , profusely sweating, and sometimes a headache . I couldn t find anything online to match the description. I finally got him to go to the ER which is where he is at now but I had to stay home with our kids . Has anyone experienced this if so what was it? Or does anyone know what it could be? I m really freaked out.

Hello
It seems from the history that he is having light headedness, nausea, loss of appetite and profuse sweating.
Since there is nausea, loss of appetite and profuse sweating, the infective causes needs to be ruled out.
He may require blood tests to rule out infections.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
