What Is The Treatment Of Dizziness ?

I am a 33 year old female that for the past year I have a unset of hot sweats, fatigue, lightheaded, weak and sometimes whole body pain about 3-4 times a month that normally last for 20-30 mins after the sweating stops and im not dizzy I still fell fatigue for about a hour or longer. It seems to take a lot out of me. I have ended up in the ER because of it and they said I was just dehydrated. I have had blood work taken and even taken while I was having the symptoms and it came back fine. I have had a MRI of the head and nothing. I have seen a cardiologist and had my heart check and had a monitor for two months and it came back normal. I do get a headache sometimes before the episodes start but not all the time I have seen a neurologist for my headaches and he cant seem to figure why I get them. I am at the point I just want to know why this is happening.

Neurologist 's  Response
Hello!

My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you on Healthcaremagic!

It is necessary to perform differential diagnosis between different possible causes that may lead to this clinical situation: a thyroid gland dysfunction, hypoglycemia, orthostatic hypotension, or seizures.
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your doctor and performing some tests:
- thyroid hormone levels
- complete blood count for anemia
- a Head Up Tilt test for orthostatic hypotension
- blood electrolytes
- an EEG for seizures.
Consulting with an ENT specialist would help investigate for an inner ear disorder, which may mimic this situation.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards!
