Lightheaded, spinning feeling and sweating. What could be the reason?
Patient: Was at work and feeling fine when I suddenly got a little light headed and then the room started spinning g real bad and so I sat down and then I started sweating to the point it was dripping off my face and left a wet mark on the desk where my arms were resting. After I sat for about 10 minutes it went away. Now I feel light headed Doctor: Hi,Thank you for posting your query.Your symptoms are suggestive of pre-syncope, where the blood supply to the brain is reduced for a short while.The predisposing conditions include exhaustion, tiredness, lack of sleep, hunger, fever, etc.There is no need to worry. You can consult your GP and get a general evaluation done. Low haemoglobin (anemia) should also be excluded.I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.Wishing you good health,Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology)Senior Consultant NeurologistApollo Hospitals, Hyderabad, IndiaClick on this link to ask me a DIRECT QUERY: http://bit.ly/Dr-Sudhir-kumarMy BLOG: http://bestneurodoctor.blogspot.in
