What Could Cause Frequent Black Dots In Vision, Dizziness And Fatigue With Blacking Out?

Since this morning when I woke up , every time i get up to walk somewhere, within 10 steps i begin to see black dots, feel extremely lethargic and get dizziy and I black out. Although this isn t the 1st time this has happened, it is the most recent and most consistent.

Hi,

Your blood pressure may be lowering to critical levels either due to medication, dehydration, hypoglycemia, or a combination of all those factors.

You may also be suffering from blockages in your carotid arteries or elsewhere reducing blood flow to the brain itself.

You should see a doctor for these symptoms as soon as possible otherwise, you could hurt yourself by passing out while trying to go downstairs, driving a vehicle, or doing something else that can cause damage to yourself or others.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist
