Okay All...
I finished supper about an hour ago and I was standing up talking with my neighbor for about 35 min. and then suddenly my stomach dropped, I broke out into a cold/hot sweat, I got terribly light-headed, my neighbor had two heads, and I also was very pale. I have no idea what happened. I am still very pale and very dizzy. I didn't know what I did or didn't do that could have made me do this. Any suggestions? Should I take a vitamin...eat something? Let me know what you think...

    If it scared you call your doctor! You can never be too careful. Those symptoms could be cause by many things, not just what you did or didn't eat.

    What else have you eaten today? What do you mean your stomach dropped...like, you got nauseas, or suddenly had to use the restroom?

    Alright, I'll call her in the morning and see what she says. Luckily I have an easy day at work tomorrow and I can run to the doctor if I need to. Thanks.

    Low blood sugar? Stomach bug? Good luck. I hope you feel better.

    Sounds like an anxiety attack. I get them occasionally and I get the same symptoms are you had. I had one about two weeks ago, and nothing in particular brought it on. My stomach would feel weird, very light headed, cold sweat and an urge to go to the bathroom, and then i would feel like crying. Just ended up spending the day on the couch and things seemed to pass. Hope everything is ok, but I would talk to your doctor, as some of the others have suggested.

    Call the DR. BUT HOW OLD ARE YOU?
    this might be a hot flash, I got one the other day and the same thing happened to me, But I was at work when it did and I work with Drs. Which is how I know it was a hot flash and not something else.

    Could also be a food allergy. Good thing you have a food diary - take it with you when you see your doc.
