Please help with this?

Question

Yesterday I was out on the bus it was quite hot and I was standing up (I do that quite a lot). Suddenly I started to get a bit dizzy, my hearing was wearing aware, my sight was fading, very blurry. when I got of the bus I couldn’t walk properly to get help. (probably looked like I was drunk) but within 5mins I was pretty much back to normal. this whole thing happened within 8 - 10 mins. It was hot out but not as hot as previous days. I also hadn’t had a drink in like 15 - 20 hours. I was told that it was the heat, dehydration symptoms possibly. but im not convinced. What exactly happens when your dehydrated? I mean those were pretty heavy symptoms in a short space of time.

I want to know what exactly that was? Has anyone experience anything like this?

Answer 1

Dehydration could have been part of the cause. water is needed everywhere in your body, it could have been that your blood slowed down a bit because of a lack of water, then when you stood up, your brain didn't get enough for a moment, which can cause the weakness in hearing, sight and balance, but then is restored after a few moments., Its happened to me before

Answer 2

yes it was dehydration I lived in Mexico and my job was to walk around all the time doing promotions and I have had that happened to me many of times so the company supplied me with bottle water and I carried it all the time on a regular basses we need 8 glasses of water a day in the hotter times we need it available at all times you could have passed out and really hurt your self so I would suggest carrying a bottle of water with you if it gets worm it doesn't matter you are still keeping your self from getting dehydrated . water should be you best friend juice and sodas only dehydrate you more . PS you can make yourself extremely sick if you don't I ended up with spinal meningitis. I allowed my body to suffer so much and I almost died I was lucky for most die from it and now I have a week spin and nerve damage . not that you would get that I was in third word country but diseases will take over of all sorts when you weaken your body. and you can become very sick

Answer 3

The three most likely possibilities are:

- Dehydration/heat exhaustion
- Low blood sugar
- Low blood pressure

The only way to be sure is to schedule an appointment with your doctor and explain your symptoms. He/She can run a test and make sure that it wasn't one of the latter two. Dehydration is easy to fix. The other two are more serious.

You should see a doctor. This happens to me but yours could be different.Mine is low blood sugar.I always keep candy or sweet drink with me.I am not a diabetic it just happens to me usually in the summer.I feel dizzy and like I am gonna faint.Keep some hard candy with you and try it.Good Luck!

Answer 5

ya i just had that the other day from the heat. it happens often when its hot and not drinking enough fluid makes it worse.. feeling like your going to pass out and you cant hold yourself up. oh ya maybe its also due to the small area of space. maybe cuz it was so hot that there wasnt a lot of air circulating

Answer 6

Dehydration or low blood sugar or both simultaneously, is my best guess.

I have experienced low blood sugar, but drink too much water (64 oz+ a day) to get dehydrated.

Answer 7

It is called heat exhaustion.. Stay hydrated and keep out of the sun.

Answer 8

My friend, its heat exhaustation. I have experienced when I was younger, but not as I got older.
