What is going on???

I know there is an issue because a few months ago I blacked out while in the kitchen, nearly putting my hand on the stove. The strange thing is that i remained concious, stumbling around, i couldn't see but my vision returned after about a minute. More recently I noticed my hands shaking, and my arms feel like they are falling asleep,also my heart beats rapidly without doing any type of exercise. I have blacked out before, and i worry about it a lot now since when i stand up i feel extremely dizzy, especially after I wake up.Sometimes there is pain near my wrist.I took a multi-vitamin daily  thinking that maybe i was lacking something, but i still have the rapid heart beat, shaking, and pain. What do you think these symptoms are?

Hello,

First and foremost, regular estimation of blood sugar is important as hypoglycemia can lead to dizziness. Also get your blood pressure monitored as orthostatic hypotension due to sudden decrease in systolic BP can also cause dizziness.

Sometimes, there are partial or complete blockages in the arteries that supply the brain with blood.  These blockages can cause a temporary loss of blood flow (called transient ischemic attack, or TIA for short), or permanent loss of blood flow (called stroke; also called cerebrovascular accident).This can lead to impaired blood flow through these arteries and so dizziness.

Ear infections and other causes like Meniere’s disease or inner ear diseases can lead to dizziness. If there is any ear pain or tinnitus along with then it may be the possibility.Pls get yourself evaluated for that.

Get the blood sugar evaluated and an ECG done.CT brain is also useful if a brain injury is suspected to be the cause of vertigo. The choice of treatment will depend on the diagnosis.

Pls consult a physician to find the causative factor as treatment will depend on the same.

Do keep us posted on how you are doing.

What tests have you had done for these symptoms? Seems a neurological and cardiology workup would be in order.
