What Causes Dizziness And Unconsciousness?

Good morning Doctor! I ve got up this morning and sat for a minute. Later went to washroom for brush teeth and took brush and paste. That time my head was reeling and I was unconsciousness and after a while, I was sitting on the washroom floor. I don t know what happened and came out from washroom and drank some water. Later understood that, I didn t do brush and I fell down and my brush has fallen aside. By reading these articles, I understood that, the blood is not reaching to brain properly and got unconsciousness. Is this true. If so, what could be the remedy. Please advice. My medical history: I have this dizziness when I sat on my toes (or on my foot) for a while and got up immediately. when I consulted a physician and asked this question long ago (around 4 years back). He said that, you are 40 years and these are common problems at that age. Later I have consulted another doctor and asked the same question. he said that it could be because of my D vitamin deficiency. That time I had little D vitamin deficiency. I had high Cholesterol with High Triglycerides, High LDL and Low HDL. But now its controlled and recently in March I had annual checkup and everything is normal. Regards,

Your problem could be mostly due to Transient Ischeamic attack.You should get MRI BRAIN to know the size and location of infarct if any.Also get investigations like ECG,2D ECHO,lipid profile,complete blood picture to rule out any blocks in the heart.Monitor your Blood preesure regularly.Drugs like Anti platelets,Anti hypertensives,Hypolipidemic drugs will be useful in your case.Exercise regularly for 20min.Avoid driving alone.Avoid stress and anxiety.Since you have high cholesterol levels once you better go for Coronary angiography by speaking to your doctor,if reports found abnormal.If you have symptoms like dizziness,weakness,elevated blood pressure report immediately to emergency.Consult your neurophysician for expert management.
