What Could Cause Dizziness And Light Headed?

My husband broke out in a hot sweat yesterday, but seemed to feel all right after he cooled down, but had felt a bit lightheaded during the day when he got up from a sitting position. Then the dizziness disappeared. After going to bed last night, he woke up about 2:00am with his body moving unvoluntarily (I was awakened & saw his arms shaking /thrashing) . That ended & he got up, feeling lightheaded again & went to the bathroom. He said his body feels strange, but has no pain. We are here in FL right now on vacation & I m concerned whether we can wait till morning to seek urgent care.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your husband looking to the history given here you have not mentioned the age of your husband it was necessary here, in my opinion your husband is in need of some investigations like complete blood work, EKG, CT head, cardiac and cerebral pathology need to be ruled out, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
