What Causes Cold Sweats Along With Dizziness And Black Spots In Vision?

Cold sweats, sweat literally dripping off my eyelashes, running down my legs and chest. Sever lightheadness, dizzy with black spots in my vision. Shaking terribly. This lasted about 15 minutes. When it finally all stopped I fell asleep for a couple hours. I tried to eat some bread and even a piece of chocolate, theses didn t help.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for your query.
Based on your symptoms, I would like to rule out cardiovascular diseases.

Would you clarify a few things for me, please?
*how old are you? Male or female?
*what is your height and weight?
*do you have any other medical issues or take any medications?
*have you had these symptoms before?
*do you have a fever?
*do you have any other symptoms like cough, cold, throat pain, chest discomfort, breathing difficulty, difficulty walking, abdominal pain, digestion problems, loose stools?

I recommend :
-a physician consult right away
-blood tests (complete blood count, lipid profile, Thyroid stimulating hormone, blood glucose levels, liver and kidney function tests)
-electrocardiogram and echocardiogram
-CT scan of the brain and imaging of the blood vessels of the brain, of clinically indicated.

Based on these and clinical exam, we can find out what's going on? I urge you to seek medical attention right away as if it related to the heart or brain, time is vital. The sooner treatment is started, the better the chance of recovering.

Hope this helps. Wish you good health.
