What Causes Dizziness Along With Profuse Sweating?

Hi, I am a 54 year old woman. In the past 4-5 months I have had 4-5 episodes where suddenly, out of the blue, I become extremely dizzy, I mean the room feels like it s spinning. Two of those times it was so severe that I was down for 24+ hours. when it happens, I become shaky, and sweat profusely for around 2-3 minutes. I ve been checked for a possible ear infection, did not have one. I have no clue what could be bringing these dizzy spells on. If you could give me any ideas, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hello dear ,

The possible causes of dizziness and profuse sweating are
- Panic attack , a kind of anxiety disorder.
- Hypoglycaemia
- Cardiovascular diseases - Hypertension
- Menopausal symptoms

Advise- Get your ECG done , FBS ( Fasting blood sugar) , Complete haemogram ., serum cholesterol.
Be wise in selecting your food. Eat warm and freshly prepared food. Avoid deep fried , spicy , too much of non veg , too much of sweets . Eat food at regular intervals i.e have a balanced diet.
You can do meditation and pranayama to keep yourself stressfree. It will keep you calm , cool and relaxed.

Hope I have answered your question.

With regards,
Dr. Ramya Mallya.
