I sometimes get really dizzy,cold sweats and I feel like I'm going to pass out?

Question

I have had these spells for about a year now but only passed out once. When the dizziness and cold sweat stop I get really cold and my whole body shivers like Im in shock.

Answer 1

There are three possibilities I can think of.

Diabetes and your sugar is low.

You haven't eaten a lot and your blood sugar is low (without diabetes. I get this way)

Anemia.

Your iron levels may be low.

All of this needs to be checked by a doctor. Tell them your symptoms and they will rule out anemia and low blood sugar/diabetes.

Answer 2

My first thought is that your blood sugar level is dropping.  Make sure you are eating regularly.  Do not skip meals and always carry around a snack.  Depending on how old you are and a family history this could signal that you might be more prone to getting diabetes.
