Not feeling well. Ideas?
 

Twice this week I have had a spell where I get really hot. Just kind of comes over me. I get real warm and lightheaded. The heat calms down and I start sweating and then my stomach feels funny. It slowly goes away and all is fine again.
Whats wrong? I don't like feeling bad.

What are you doing when it happens?

You're a youngster, right?

Once I was sitting on the couch watching tv. Once I was in the garage doing some cleaning on my car. Ya I'm only18.

I get that way when I eat to many jalapenos.

Does this happen when you are inside in the A/C or outside in the heat?

Are you drinking plenty of water?

Once inside under the A/C. Once out in the heat just now. I drink lots of fluids throughout the day and stay well hydrated.

sounds like a sudden drop in B/P..

we would do this..
lay down for 5 min...
take B/P..
careful here..have someone hold you
stand up...
this where you seem to be..
warm,sweating, dizzy..
once up for a few..all back to norm..
go see a Dr..

uncontrollable urge to squeal like a pig? You swine! ;)

Seriously, didn't you just post about being infested with chiggers? Perhaps your body is reacting.

You might check into Lyme disease symptoms. No problem if you get treatment now.

Menopause?

No, no! You're pregnant!

Happy to help... :D

H1N1, either that or Global Warming!

Haven't had any tick bites this summer milt. I'm kinda leaning towards the BP thing because I have almost always gotten lightheaded when standing after sitting or laying for a long time.

Don't think that Lyme is restricted to ticks. It's not. Mosquitoes, and other blood suckers are now thought to carry the disease. It was just a thought.

Lots of cases where people didn't feel or see tick bites or the bullseye rash. Don't assume you were not bitten, and it is much easier to treat the sooner it is diagnosed.

Any stress lately? I've had really weird physical reactions to stress.

Nah things have been pretty stress free after graduation. Mostly playing with the cars and a little work. I really don't think its lyme disease the way it is in spells. I feel 100% right now and did all night even though I was breathing tire smoke and gas fumes. Spending all day in the heat tomorrow and Sunday. We'll see if it rears its ugly head again. I have always gotten dizzy when I stand after sitting so I am wondering if I do have some type of BP issue.

Just talked to my mom and she says low BP runs in the family.

Start eating more cheesburgers and fries. That will get the pressure up :)

There are days Glenn that I eat two cheeseburgers and two orders of fries

Maybe a little Anxiety going on? A lot of that now a days!
