i had a fast onset episode of dizzines, sweating, and feeling faint today. It went away after roughly 15 minutes - I did not throw up and did not eat/drink anything between the onset of when it occurred and wwhen it went away. do have a history of high blood pressure but it has been controlled extremely well the last few years.

HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.

There are many causes for Dizziness, from simple and easily treatable causes to serious causes .

Simple causes are :

1. Abnormalities in BP: Both high and low BP can cause dizziness.
2. Abnormalities in Blood sugars: Both high and low Blood sugars can cause dizziness.

3. Abnormalities in blood sodium levels.
4. Low Hemoglobin ( Anemia )
5. Inner Ear problems .

Some serious problems are :

1. Heart Problems
2: Brain problem

In your case , high BP is one possible cause of Dizziness . So kindly get your BP checked and if it's high ask your doctor to add an additional BP medications and if it's low ask him to reduce your Present medication.

Also get your Hemogobin , Serum Sodium levels, Fasting and Postprandial blood sugars , Serum TSH levels checked and if they are normal get a ECG and a ENT check up done .

Kindly revert back to me with the reports.

Hope you find this information useful .

Any clarification feel free to ask
