I Get Vision Loss, Dizziness, Nausea When Exercising.
I m 60 years old male with history of hypertension . I jog every week for 40 to 50 minutes. Since last year I experienced loss of vision, dizziness , nausea , excessive sweating when I was jogging and sometimes I just cannot maintain my posture so I have to lie on the floor. But I still remain conscious, my speech and hearing are still normal. After the first time this problem occurred, I take a cup of glucose 30 minutes before jogging. But I still experienced this for quite a number of time. My wife said that I look pale and my hand and feet are cold when I have this problem.

Hi,
Temporary loss of vision, nausea and dizziness are due to long term effects of hypertension on eye and brain ( vascular insufficiency due to thromo-embolic phenomenon). Excessive sweating, coldness of ur hand and feet are due to cardiac complications of hypertension.
suggestions
- control ur hypertension
-check ur sugar level (u have not metioned about ur diabetic status)
-check for ur hemoglobin level (paleness, dizziness and weakness might be due to less Hb level also)
- Dont do vigorous exercise as it will further deteriorate ur heart condition. consult cardiologist for ur heart issues.
-evaluate urself from ophthalmologist and neurologist also.
bye... take care
