The symptoms you’ve mentioned (dizziness, numbness, cold sweats, sickness and pains in arms and legs) are common for many conditions, mainly infections. You can visit your primary health provider for a physical examination and to request standard blood analyses to be the diagnostic procedure of possible disease or infection.
