The other day my husband was working out, just doing some cardio and suddenly he went into a cold sweat, blacking out, nausia, pressure/pain in eyes. We just thought he didn't get enough water and I believe he was ok for the rest of the session.

Last night, he was at soccer practice and the same thing happened except much more severe. He was barely able to drive home and when he got here he was pale, the edges of his lips were blue, he was trembling, and very cold. We threw him in a hot shower and bundled him up but it didn't seem to help things. The next day he still had a feeling of pressure in his eyes.

my first thought is that he is low on electrolytes. and my mom keeps suggesting that he's sweating out all his minerals and he should take a supplement of that.

i'm worried it has something to do with his heart.

Suggestions? i'm so worried and unfortunately his health benefits haven't kicked in at work yet.
