Suggest Remedy For Persistent Vertigo And Excessive Sweating

Hello, I am a 50 year old woman , in very good shape and health. About once every couple of months I suddenly get very weak and feel very faint that I have to lie down! 5 to 10 minutes later when I start feeling better I break out into a sweat from head to toe. This has been going on for about 5 years!! I look forward to an answer! Thank you!

Hello!

My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you on Healthcaremagic!

Your symptoms are suggestive or orthostatic hypotension or hypoglycemia.
Dehydration can lead to this clinical situation too.
Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your doctor for a physical exam and some tests:

-a Head Up Tilt test for orthostatic hypotension
- complete blood count for anemia
- fasting glucose and glucose tolerance test
- a resting ECG.
Meanwhile, I recommend you to monitor your blood pressure frequently.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards!
