What Causes Sweating And Dizziness?

I was fine all day and out of the blue I started having to go to the bathroom over and over..it wasn t runny, just soft, and like I had to go right away.. I started sweating perfusely like as if someone was pouring water over my head.. my hair, and clothes were sopping wet and I never sweat even when it ia hot and humid out.. I felt dizzy and like I was gonna pass out and then felt a slight nausea feeling, and i had a real red face for a while... i never get sick so it is a bit of a worry for me especially the sweat and stool issue.. now i feel a bit better, but tired and vary cold and cant seem to warm up and weirdly, my left ear is now feeling warm.. just curious as to what it could be going on and if i should be concerned.. this same thing happened 2 weeks ago but not as severe, but i had projectile vomiting at that point...

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

These are nonspecific signs but may indicate some problems and in most cases is related to physical stress, sudden changes in positions from lying down to standing up, or as a result of consuming caffeine-containing beverages, tobacco, alcohol, etc.

In this case, they do not have any medical underlying cause, and there is nothing to be worried about.

However, if this concerns you and is happening to you repeatedly then some tests should be done which include:

- a complete biochemical panel
- blood glucose, liver function enzymes, kidney function tests, electrolytes
- a complete thyroid panel - TSH, fT3, fT4
- a complete blood count
- an EKG

Depending on the results of these tests, further tests and treatment may be needed.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
