What Causes Feeling Of Heat And Fainting?

Some rash started in March of this year and has discolored my skin. I ve seen my regular doctor and a dermatologist but there s no definitive answer. Just some form of dermatitis. No fungus according to the test.And I would get this feeling of heat and almost fainting but I don t faint. I look in the mirror if my face turns red but it doesn t. The feeling lingers for a couple of minutes and I earnestly pray that I do not faint and I don t.I m thinking they re related. I didn t have the feeling of heat and faint until these rashes started.

Hi,

Regarding your concern, you should know that your symptoms could be related to seizures. The rash does not seem to be related to this issue. Anyway, an autoimmune disorder could cause skin discoloration and seizures. That is why I would recommend performing some tests:

- an ECG
- an EEG
- complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate for inflammation
- thyroid hormone levels

Autoimmune antibodies may need to be tested. You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.

Hope to have been helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Best wishes,
Dr. Aida
