What Causes Sudden Dizziness While Driving?

I m a 53-yr old female. This evening, driving home after work...I experienced sudden dizziness. It almost felt like I lacked oxygen. But I feel like I momentarily blacked out. When I could focus again, I drove over to the shoulder and parked there for maybe 5 minutes - not entirely certain of the chain of events. I drove home without further incident. No pain or dizziness since that episode. I don t have medical insurance until next month so I did not go to the ER.

Welcome to HCM
This is Dr Amit. I will suggest you to do FBS, PP2BS and HbA1C to see whether you are having sugar value within the normal range or not and also ask your doctor to measure blood pressure to see whether you are hypertensive or not.
