Medical people, please help?

I often wake up during the night with symptoms that are similar to the early symptoms of shock - dizziness, tingling in my arms and legs, nausea, low body temperature (96 - 97 degrees), I'm freezing even though the room temp is over 70 degrees, and sometimes I am soaked in a cold sweat.


I do have panic attack disorder and asthma; I have had Crohn's disease and melanoma, but both are in remission. My heart, brain, thyroid, and blood have all been checked and are fine.


Does anyone with experience or medical education have any other ideas to what this might be? Could it be related to panic attack or menstrual symptoms? Thank you.

i would get checked for diabetes - this could also be symptoms of low blood sugar (the sweating, nausea, tingling, dizziness). maybe what you should do before going to bed is start eating a high protein snack like chese, yogurt, or drinking a glass of milk. maybe eat some peanut butter. see if this helps these episodes to stop or to decrease in frequency. your blood sugar may be bottoming out during the night, so you may need to eat before going to bed. ask your doctor about performing a glocose tolerance test (GTT) and performing a hemoglobin A1C blood test to test you for diabetes. may want to get your thyroid levels rechecked (T3, T4, and TSH) to make sure theyre within normal limits, because you may also be experiencing some hypothyroid. it can come up quick on you if you dont monitor your thyroid levels. good luck!
Reply:Sounds like TSS but with your medical history it could be anything I would advice going to urgent care ASAP I hope it's not serious. And relax.
Reply:wierd.. see your Dr about it.. im only a nursing student .. but may be related to poor circulation?
Reply:There is no way anyone can diagnose you via the internet. We don't know your medical/surgical/family history, have not assessed you, what medications you are taking, performed a physical, lab tests, how long it's been since your last exam and the illnesses you spoke of.





Why would you not see a real life doctor to dx you? These symptoms are very non-specific and could relate to any number of things.
Reply:Have your doctor check you for diabetes.
