Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I fainted suddenly yesterday, sweating heavily with a bitter taste in my mouth. It occurred around dinner time, despite having lunch and evening tea. Any idea what illness this could be?

 

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

Several factors could contribute to your fainting episode. Dehydration, dry mouth syndrome, or side effects from medications, if you're taking any, could be possible causes. Low blood pressure or underlying cardiac conditions should also be considered. It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and diagnosis.

 

Thanks
