What Causes Dizziness, Heavy Sweating And Weakness In An Elderly Person?

My 92 year old mother experienced dizziness, heavy sweating, & weakness. It was around 8:30/9:00 am when she went outside to pull weeds. The symptoms started before she started doing anything except walking in the yard. After about 30 minutes rest she felt better but still a little weak. What could cause this?

Hello,

I have gone through your query thoroughly. These symptoms have various reasons in your case which may be transient fall/rise in the blood pressure, fluctuations in the blood sugar levels, transient ischemic attack with disturbances in the cerebral circulation, heat stroke, dehydration or general debility induced fainting, cardiac causes (ischemia, myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, valvular disorders, ventricular hypertrophy, fibrillations, conduction disorders).

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

Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel
