What Could Causes Dizziness,light Headedness,feeling Hot And Fainting?
A few days ago i was standing talking to my family. I started to feel like the room was getting hotter slowly then i felt very hot. Then i felt like i was up to get sick. As i turned to go to the bathroom i became verry dizzy. My vision went dark as i started walking. I was wobbly and i felt very light headed. A few steps later i fell on the ground. My vision came back and my ears started to buzz but then it faded. My sister tryed talking to me but she sounded far away when she was just standing in front of me. I was confused and felt very hot. I tried to say something back to my sister but i couldn t really talk. They got my a glass of water and a banana. After 10 minutes everything went away and i felt better. Was i dehydrated?

Hello,
The symptoms of dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling hot and fainting are indicative of poor general health condition. You have not given any history of your past or present illness. However, such symptoms are indicative of stressful life-style either emotionally or physically. It is triggered due to dehydration, low BP, low blood glucose and anxiety disorders.
Medical conditions that may manifest with such symptoms are thyroid issues, vertigo, anemia, poor general health, developing CAD, etc. You are suggested to stay well hydrated with water, ORS, Electrol, home made balanced nutritious food rich in iron, calcium and protein. You can also take supplements. Avoid addictions if any, Stay away from stressful lifestyle. Do regular walking and stay active,
You should get clinically examined and get routine health check up done. This will include some blood tests, urine examination and imaging tests. You will be treated according to the pathology detected.
