Severe dizziness and sweating during flight?

[The Artist]

Had a short 1.5 hour flight today. I like flying and never had any issues until today. About an hour into the flight I got super dizzy and sweating a ridiculous amount. Luckily we were just about to descend and it kind of went away after about 5-10 minutes. This wasn't just feeling unwell, I thought I might pass out and was half way to going to the toilet to throw up.

I have 2 more short flights tomorrow and Google just says possible vertigo but I have never had an issue before. It could also be anxiety but I like flying and think it's awesome. I do have some emergency Valium with me so I might take a couple but I would rather not until I am back in the UK.

Any ideas anyone?

How's your general health at the moment?

Any colds, coughs etc and you could be coming down with something, the change in altitude / air pressure could be making your slightly bunged up due to cold cause balance issues that make you feel crap?

Huge EDIT: Go see a doc if you experience this again. I don't want to scare you with the worst that could happen.

I'm currently staying near Victoria Peak on the second to top floor of a serviced apartment. It's about 500 metres above sea level. This makes me feel nausea sometimes.

Possibly blocked ears or ear infection. It'll make you feel off balance, which will make you feel dizzy and probably sick.

Failing that, it's bad aids.

Sounds like anxiety to me. I've had it when I was walking through town once, felt like I was about to pass out and got all hot and flustered

Pro tip: lift your feet off the floor of the plane and your arms off the armrests whenever you hear the 'bong' noise, or they say the word 'turbulence'. Works a charm for me.

I am not a good flyist though. Sweat and massive shakyhand pilot "thanksfornotkillingme" at the end of the flight is standard.

Stop carrying drugs and you'll stop sweating like a smuggler walking through customs past the friendly dog.

It's probably nothing, yet it could by anything from sudden drop of the blood pressure and/or blood sugar (didn't eat much, didn't sleep much as well), dehydration, stress related problem (many people get panic attacks when they are in relaxed mood, after a long and stressful events, as all the hormones are gone and their body gets ''addicted'' to them), age related thing as well as a brain tumor, ear infection, pinched nerve in your spine and other things.

To calm your nerves, do the drugs you've got. Or magnesium, that helps to calm the nerves as well. IF you don't feel alright, go to see a GP, just to make sure, as anxiety has the same symptoms as other more serious things.

TL; DR It could be nothing and anything at the same time.

Symptoms sound like simple motion sickness to me. (which is anything but simple if you are on the receiving end of it).

Anyone can suffer from it and it's not always predictable.

Look out of the window at the horizon, not at something inside the plane. Motion sickness is caused when your eyes are saying you are staying still (inside of the plane isn't moving) but balance organs in your ears say you're moving. If your eyes and ears agree, you tend not to get it (or get it as quickly/badly)

Anyone who says they don't suffer from motion sickness has never been taken for an air experience flight in the back seat of a de Havilland Chipmunk by a retired RAF fast jet pilot in a showing off mood.

I have physically passed out from motion sickness before. It was on a particularly rough ferry journey from Lerwick to Aberdeen.

I also got seasick on a stand-up paddle board in the Mediterranian once. You tend to salivate a lot too and get an odd taste in your mouth.

Also keep off the drink and make sure you have some food in your stomach.

Ultimately though, the only known cure is to sit with your back to a tree...
