What Causes Dizzy Spells Along With Tiredness And Sleepiness?

Hi ! I am a 50 year old male and I have been suffering with dizziness for the past few days. Was lying by the pool for 10 minutes or so and when I stood up the dizziness struck me all of a sudden. Also been feeling tired and sleeping a lot. Could you please offer any advice what the cause might be and how I could be treated.

Hi dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your wife have dizzy spells along with tiredness and sleepiness . Well the symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards a condition like atrial fibrillation , angina , acid reflux or sinusitis and chest congestion . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist without any delay for proper diagnosis , because it can lead to heart failure and rule out causes like stress and anxiety , muscle spasm and nerve dysfunction . Doctor may order certain test like ECG and examine with stethoscope . Doctor may prescribe treatment for restoring your ventricular rate. Beta blockers, like Atenolol, Carvedilol, furosemide, and others can slow the heart rate. Calcium channel blockers, such as Diltiazem and Verapamil, are another class of drug used to slow the beating of the ventricles . The symptoms can also occur due to speelping apnea , doctor may recommend CPAP machine after sleep study .Doctor may also prescribe antiemetic drug or may refer you to gastroenterologist for acid reflux and ENT specialist for ear problem . For now take proper rest and do not exert your body .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
