[34F] Experiencing recurrent episodes of dizziness, sweating, and tingling

What might be happening

Based on the information you've provided, possible diagnoses include:

• Panic Disorder: This is a type of anxiety disorder characterized by recurring unexpected panic attacks. Panic attacks are sudden periods of intense fear that may include palpitations, sweating, shaking, shortness of breath, numbness, or a feeling that something terrible is going to happen. The maximum degree of symptoms occurs within minutes and they generally last for about 5 to 20 minutes.

  • Treatment typically involves psychotherapy, medications, or both.

• Vasovagal Syncope: This is a common cause of fainting. The vagus nerve regulates heart rate and blood pressure. In response to certain triggers, such as the sight of blood or extreme emotional distress, the vagus nerve can suddenly decrease heart rate and blood pressure, leading to fainting. Other symptoms can include blurry vision, confusion, pale skin, and nausea.

  • Treatment usually involves avoiding triggers, increasing fluid and salt intake, and sometimes medications.

• Hypoglycemia: This is a condition caused by a very low level of blood sugar (glucose), your body's main energy source. Hypoglycemia is often related to the treatment of diabetes. However, a variety of conditions — many rare — can cause low blood sugar in people without diabetes.

  • Treatment involves immediate steps to get your blood sugar level back into a safe range either with high-sugar foods or drinks or with medications.

What you can do

Please seek immediate medical attention. These symptoms could indicate a serious condition. While waiting for medical help, try to stay calm and take deep, slow breaths. If you have a glucose gel or other form of glucose handy (such as candy or fruit juice), and you are conscious and able to swallow, take some to see if your symptoms improve.
