I have the same over 20 years now. All the symptoms mentioned above; however each episode is slightly different. I had that at night, after nap in the afternoon, in the morning. Here is a good articles with explanation of the diagnosis: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1768202/#__ffn_sectitle
I had that same type of experience this year except I was in my car and had a head-on accident. Doctor diagnosed it as Vaso Vagal Syncope. It is triggered by different things in different people and mine was dehydration after a tough workout. It can also be low blood sugar, etc.
This just happened to me. 1am in the morning woke up as I was feeling very sick, couldnt stop yawning felt very weak and thought I was going to vomit so went to the bathroom but nothing came up, then all of a sudden I was drenched in sweat, heart was racing and my whole body was tingling and very weak. Then I fell to the floor, couldnt see, couldnt hear anything. I couldnt move. This is the second time its happened now and worries me so much because I live alone. Im not sure if I should go to the doctors? What if its nothing but a fainting episode?
Yes. I'm not pregnant and in my late 50s. I'm trying to recover from a cold, have high blood pressure, and started working 9 hour days with young kids. I am not sure but I'm thinking mine could of been a combination of it all, plus I'm not eating very much. Funny thing is, I just saw a doctor the day before to get a check up and refill for my meds. Everything was ok, blood pressure a bit high. Going back to work tomorrow, hoping it won't happen again.
This sort of thing happened to me when I was straightening my hair. I had just gotten out of the shower and I was doing my hair when I felt like I was going to throw up. So I leaned over the toilet and nothing. So I figured I was going to pass out because I started seeing stars and just black for a few seconds. I tried to turn the doorknob to get out but I couldnt (it wasnt locked). My hands and arms were too weak. So, I called for my dad but when I did I couldnt hear myself. All I could hear was ringing and my face was really red. But once I got into my room and layed down on my bed I felt better because there was cooler air. I tried to lift my arms and legs but it hurt too much. That was the worst it has ever gotten and this has happened to me 3 times.
I've been having this exact same problem over recent months. My Dr says it's anxiety and has prescribed SSRIs. 1 week in and the attacks have reduced dramatically.
Did you ever find out what caused that faint/sweaty incident at your Mom's house? The same thing happened to me last night... very scary and I live alone and almost called 911. After some water and sitting quietly for about 30 minutes I was ok. Just wondering if there is something else I can look for. Thanks.
I have normally low blood pressure 90/60 almost always. I'm 34, in pretty good shape, eat clean, etc....I have had some vertigo in the last few months, but what happened the other night really scared me. I felt like I was fighting to stay conscious. So, has that whole drenched in sweat, disoriented, nauseas thing happened to you before? I'm going to the dr in a few days...
I get that way w/low blood pressure & my sister has had those symptoms from allergies too. Definitely worth looking into though! Good luck!!!
