Hi, My mom can not move and is dizzy, sweating, weak, chills and feels like she s gonna throw up. It s hard for her to talk. She was was feeling fine this morning & it just hit her. It started with the dizziness. She can t walk and doesn t want me to call for ambulance. I m worried it could be heart issues because she -had a heart attack in June. Please help asap. Thanks, Alicia Chalker -

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have dizziness, profuse sweating and chills. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like middle ear infection , labyrinthitis , heart problem , anxiety disorder , dehydration , diabetes , polycystic kidney disease or gastroenteritis .I would suggest you to consult cardiologist to rule out cardiac problem first . Doctor may order ECG , TMT along with complete blood profile and check vitals . Doctor may prescribe betablockers and diuretic along with other treatment depending upon the diagnosis . For now keep yourself hydrated , take proper rest and avoid bending forward.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
