Hello,
I reviewed the symptoms you have quoted in the history. blurred vision, dizziness, hot sweats... all these indicate a transient ischemic attack. The causes for transient ischemic attack are hypoglycemia (reduced sugar level), Hypovolemia (reduced fluids level) and reduced blood supply to brain as a result of partial obstruction to vessels.
This requires further evaluation if the symptoms are recurrent.
Thank you
