Dizzy spells with extreme sweating

Recently I have been having these odds spells. The first time it happened was three weeks ago. I was at a BBQ in the evening and it was fairly warm out. We were standing in the yard talking when all of the sudden I began to feel very weak and sweat as if someone had just sprayed me with a hose. Once this started I began to get very dizzy and asked my fiance to take me to the deck to sit down. He got me some water and once I drank the water and cooled off I began to feel better. We left shortly after and I began to regain my strength again. This attack I had scratched up to being over heated while having my period.

This this morning I had a similar attack but it was much more extreme. I was woken up at 5AM with a very sour feeling stomach. I thought it must be something I had eaten the night before and tried to go back to sleep to sleep it off. At about 8AM The sour stomach had faded and I was feeling better, I got up to go to the bathroom and decided to return to bed for a little more sleep since I had been up a few hours with an upset stomach. At about 8:30AM I began getting strong abdominal cramping and knew I needed to head to the bathroom. I began having stronger pains and started feeling very weak. As sat there I began to sweat heavily like I had a few weeks prior. The only difference this time is, I began to lose control of motor skills. My arms and hands felt as if they had gone to sleep and I could get them to move properly. Once I finished my business in the bathroom I began to walk to the bedroom. As I did my hearing began to fade so that the sounds in the apartment were almost inaudible. My sight was very washed out and it was hard to see where I was going. This was scary and I wasn't sure what was happening. I collapsed on the bed and awoke again at 9AM chilled and feeling a little more normal. Though I was still exhausted.

I'm not sure if this is something that anyone else has had happen. Or if anyone can lend some advice.

What did you have to eat/drink at the bbq? Was it the same or similar to what made you wake up with the sour stomach? Do you have any food allergies? Might wanna get that checked out because the loss of motor skills, sudden decrease in hearing and vision white-out sounds exactly like what I experienced in the hospital when I was accidentally given an IV of a medication I was allergic to. This happened right before I went into anaphilactic shock- a symptom of severe allergic reaction. Although, an allergic reaction like that is usually immediate, and I'm NOT an expert! You might wanna go to your allergist and get a screening done (if you haven't found a cause yet...)

strongly recommend you see the doctor for this, especially with it happening the second time only with more intense symtoms. Let us know how you are. Get well!
