Hi..
If i were your treating doctor for this case of dizziness,nausea,sweating I would come up with following possibilities:
1) The first possibility is of Low blood sugar (Hypoglycemia).Diagnosis can be done by measuring capillary blood glucose level using Glucometer. If it is less than 60mg/dl then it is hypoglycemia.
2) The second possibility is of cardiac problem such as underlying ischaemic heart disease .It can be ruled out by doing ECG and echocardiography
3) The third possibility is of panic attack in which person feels nauseaous,profuse sweating,dizziness.
I strongly suggest you to consult physician and get sugar level,ECG done.
I hope this would have helped you to approach further .If you have any additional questions ,let me know .I will be more than happy to answer all
Wishing you good health
Regards
