What could be the reason for passing out, numbness in hands, weakness, lethargy?
Patient: My wife fainted for 10-20 seconds in the middle of he exercise after she walked to me and told me to hold her which I did and he she past out. When she got out of her faint (syncope) she stated her hands are numb but went away after 3 minutes. It has been two days. And she still feels weak and very lathergic. Should I take her th ER and ave her examined/run some tests. She can talk and walk but she is always tired. BTW: she is los in her men s trial period. Doctor: Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.                It appears that she is suffering with postural hypotension, may be due to anemia, pain some where like back ache, gastric irritation,or infection of the internal ear.                I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. She may need to have MRI of the ear, besides other tests.                 Ask her to take green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods.               When ever she feels giddy, she should lie down, where ever she is.                Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.                     Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
