What Cause Sudden Dizziness With Cold Sweats?
I was on my knees for about 5 minutes and when i got up i felt very very dizzy. I hardly walked to sit on a chair. I started sweating cold and could bearly talk. I was very cold with shiverings and very tired. My wife called 911 and when the put oxygen on me I started having a better reaction. This last for about 2 hours. I am good now, but what happened?

Hi,
This may be due to orthostatic hypotension or hypoglycemia. Better to check for BP at different positions and also blood sugar levels. Even cardiac evaluation will be helpful to ruleout any other problem.
I hope this information helps you.
