Answered by Master, Doctor Pham Van Hung - Department of Medical Examination & Internal Medicine, Vinmec Danang International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “Dizziness, fainting when startled, what to do? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You did not say what heart disease your mother had (heart valve disease, coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, hypertension or cardiac neuropathy,... ) so the doctor can not give you exact advice.
For symptoms: Dizziness, cold, fainting when startled, you should check your mother's blood pressure (systolic blood pressure value is less than 90 mmHg or not?), heart rate (frequency, rhythm) Is the heart even?). You should take your mother to see a Cardiologist for an accurate diagnosis, through which more detailed treatment and monitoring methods are available.
If you still have questions about fainting when startled, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
