Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I woke up this morning and wasn't able to stand up...felt like I was going to faint. Finally I'm able to sit up and walk around but still woozy. Was looking up basal vagal online. Better after eating...I do get low blood sugar and have to eat every few hours. Also have mitral valve prolapse. I'm 43, 5'10", 130 lbs.
Hello , though low sugars and low pressure are common causes of dizziness, considering you have mitral valve prolapse, Underlying heart rhythm problem should be ruled out . MVP is a common cause of extra beats in the heart , though it's non serious in nature it may cause symptoms of dizziness and black out like felling . A ekg during symptoms or 24 hour holter monitoring is recommended if you ever get similar symptoms. Regards Dr Priyank Mody
