hypoglycemia
Yes, TIA can make your whole body go numb. It can also be due to high blood pressure. Low iron (anemia) and hypoglycemia too can cause a vasovagal attack. It can be low Vit B12. This is not something that can either be ignored or diagnosed on net. Please consult your PCP to start with.
Hope this helps. Take care!
Do you have any idea what is going on? I had blood work done in June. I had a heat stroke. The quacky doctor said I was ok, and gave me MORPHINE, sent me home, No I.V. Liquids were given, Just Pain medicine? I thought that when you have a heat exhaustion or stroke from heat that you are dehydrated, Pain Meds? I really have not felt right since, but this other stuff started a few weeks ago. Let me know what you think, maybe I will find some direction from that.
I have had chronic back and neck pain for 5 years, had a basilar migraine, trapped nerves in my neck and back and now my neck feels compressed. It hasn't been diagnosed and i am worried as to what it could be. I think it may be compressed neck arteries which make me lightheaded and dizzy. Any ideas? I am currently seeing a chiropractor who works wonders for the back and neck pain, but the lightheadedness remains.
I am a Type II diabetic and what you have described sounds like hypoglycemia vs. hyperglycemia (diabetes). I have experienced hypoglycemia on several occasions and my symptoms were quite similar to yours.
See your doc right away.
Other differentials of stroke that we can consider are migraine, hypoglycemia, electrolyte imbalance, infection or seizure. For proper diagnosis, direct evaluation and additional diagnostic tests may be indicated. Take care and do keep us posted with your follow-up consultation. Best regards.
My grandmother has been suffering from off and on dizziness for 6 months. The spells come and go. They are very extreme she vomits when she walks she would sway.
On Monday she had a spell that did not go away. She vomited and diearea all day when my grandfather called she was so weak she could not get out of bed. We took her to the hospital and they started fluids. She had temporary loss of her one side but none of the test show a stroke. But they are still treating it as a TIA.
A week ago I woke up to my entire bed literally soaked with sweat. I had kicked all the covers off and turned down the thermostat to 50F. I don't remember doing any of that. When I woke up the vision in my left eye was awful, it went back to normal after about 15 minutes. I have had a growing pain behind my right eye and areas around it ever since. My vision comes and goes only in that eye. Its very painful and I don't have good enough insurance to afford expensive tests...
Other causes of dizziness include hypoglycemia and orthostatic hypotension(low BP).Pls get your blood pressure and blood sugar levels evaluated. If BP is low, increase the intake of salt in your diet to a little extent.
Other causes of dizziness include sleep deprivation,TIA(transient ischemic attack),stroke,cervical spondolysis,vertebrobasilar insufficiency and CNS lesions.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep us posted on how you are doing.
This can happen if there is a sudden drop in your blood pressure or you are dehydrated from vomiting, diarrhea, fever, or other causes. It is also associated with hypoglycemia, common cold, or allergies and underlying medical conditions. Other causes like heart problems, stroke, and shock are also considered. You are right in saying that laboratory tests are needed to reach a diagnosis. To ease any worry or anxiety, have this evaluated further for proper management.

I exercise vigorously in the early day lifting weights and running 1/2 hour building my max heart rate to 135. I have a BMI of 24 and feel great. I have been on the beta blockers for 18 years now and am quite used to them. My Blood pressure is 115/65 .
Is this considered Hypoglycemia even though BS is 114 and if not why does he recover after an increase is sugar., and what can it be?
This morning I got up, got ready and was just about to head out and I suddenly felt a bit dizzy and sick.
After a few seconds I had a cold sweat (heavy sweating all over body) I was extremily dizzy, had nausea, felt faint and very week, I was taking small breaths. After a about a minute my fingers started to tingle. This whole thing lasted for about 10 mins. The sweating and nausia etc stopped but i still felt dizzy for about half an hour afterwards.
Any clue to what this could have been?
The most common causes are Hypotension, Anemia, Dehydration and Hypoglycemia. I would suggest you to get your blood pressure and sugar levels {fasting and post lunch} checked and get a complete blood picture done to rule out Anemia. The other possible causes could be hyperventilation, inner ear diseases, cardiac arrhythmias, stroke and brain tumors.
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.
I have been dealing with syncope, migraines, and numbness in the left side of my body for a year and a half now, I get sudden sharp pains in my fingers and bottom of my foot and toes. I get spikes and drops in my blood pressure and will have anywhere from 1-20 syncope episodes a day. I am frequently dizzy and sometimes lose my vision for a few minutes a day as well as my left side mobility. Literaly my left side gets stiff and weak.
well this could be the hypoglycemia, i too have it but dont often have symptoms because i eat constantly and eat candy often. but i am no doctor so you should definately ask your doctor about it. hypoglycemia seems to be thought of as not serious, but in fact its just as serious as diabetes, and also can progress like diabetes. you may have been told this 5 years ago but it may have progressed to a higher level. it could be worse. you need to have your doctor check your blood sugar levels.
