What Causes Heart Palpitations With Vision Blurring?
Yesterday I was standing in the check-out line in the store and suddenly my face felt very hot. Then i could hear my pulse whooshing in my ears, my vision blurred, and i got very weak and almost passed out. A few seconds later it passed and I felt a little tired. I am a healthy 51 yr old male and do not have a cold or anything like that at this time.

Dear Sir,
Don't worry. You had a vasovagal syncope/ presyncope. It is quite common while standing in a line, in elevators, in warm places with lots of people, after the toilet, etc. You just had a blood pressure drop, which caused such problems. It is not dangerous. Just for the next time if you feel bad in the line, just sit and you will feel better.
Take care
