What Causes Syncope With Dizziness?

I was sitting, watching television when my head started feeling strange and I thought I was going to pass out. I got up and started moving around trying to get the circulation going. I feel like I am drunk. I am afraid to lie down. I am 69 years old and ok otherwise. I weigh about 195 lbs, 5'2" and take no prescription medication. Yes, I am overweight.

Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM

Many causes for dizziness.

Are you hypertensive??? Are you diabetic??? Smoker?? Alcoholic?? Having any cardiac problems?? Are you taking any medication??? Allergic???

Many causes for dizziness but among divided into cardiac causes and non cardiac causes.

Your suffering from only dizziness not syncope (your not having fall and loc).
1st we have to examine to rule out cause for it. If it is cardiac cause then it is harmful unless we treat.

So please consult your doctor immediately. He will guide you accordingly.
