What Could Be The Reason For Nausea,vertigo And Thirsty?
I am experiencing nausea, vertigo and am thirsty. This has been going on for about 5-10 minutes. It's happened once or twice before, but not lasted this long. I am 64, HIV+, my CD4s were 450 three months ago (had been 600+ before that), and my viral load has been undetectable for years. Stroke runs in my family and I have borderline sugar issues.

Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms may be related to low blood pressure and borderline blood sugar.
Have you measured your blood pressure during these days?
I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination and some blood lab tests:
-blood fasting glucose
-glucose tolerance test
-HbA1C
-blood osmolarity.
Urine osmolarity may be needed.
Meanwhile I recommend modifying your diet (a diabetic diet, avoid sugar intake) and take plenty of fluids.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes!
Dr. Ilir
