What Causes Sudden Dizziness And Passing Out At Old Age?
I am a female, 81 years old, dizziness and passed out on the bathroom floor this a.m. Have had pituitary tumor surgery, 2009, with acromeglia, a (transient amnesia) attack last year but other than that have been feeling good. Just very dizzy and off balance now.

Hi,
Suggestive of syncope. Based on the history you seem to have suffered from transient ischemia attack (syncope) for which you need to consult your doctor immediately for further clinical assessment and treatment.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
