What Causes Cold Sweat, Dizziness And Lack Of Appetite?

I broke out in a cold sweat and felt lightheaded and it also felt as if my monthly menstrual cycle was coming on. I did not experience any nausea, but did not want to eat food at the time. I had also been walking outside at our state fair, went inside where the temp had changed because there was a huge crowd of people and the temp inside was warm and humid. I felt better after taking Tylenol and getting air. I did not have any chest pains or muscle aches. But could I have been experiencing heart problems?

Hello,

The episode of cold sweat, dizziness and lack of appetite in a crowded place with change of atmospheric pressure and lack of fresh air and oxygen indicates vasovagal episode most likely. It does not seem to be in concern with heart problems most likely. My guidelines at present:
- Relax for a couple of hours
- Drink more liquids including oral rehydration salt, hot coffee or other beverages
- Consume frequent meals of small quantity at intervals
- Avoid crowded places at present
- Avoid smoking or alcohol consumption if applicable

Get a physician check if the similar episode happens for the second time.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
