Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I often have a similar feeling, minus the headache. For me, I have always assumed it comes from autonomic dysregulation. In this specific case, my body doesn't seem to have a good " internal thermostat " so it works too hard to make it itself hotter or colder as needed. Sometimes it's too much, too sudden. There's a wave of heat that passes over me, often along with sweat, and I feel like passing out (though I never have). It's very tiring but if it hasn't lasted too long, I usually recover fairly quickly. Don't know if this applies to me, it's just my experience and my analysis of it. I have an inconclusive diagnosis of mito, by the way, or a " clinical diagnosis " , whatever term feels right at the moment.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Like Shayna, I also get this feeling, most likely from autonomic dysfunction. I have also had it during periods of very low energy and it can sometimes be my body's way of saying there is an infection or virus going on that is not easily identifiable. Most of the symptoms I get with it are feeling incredibly drained very quickly, flushed, tachycardic, sweaty, and sometimes I have difficulty speaking clearly. It can last for me anywhere from 10 mins to several hours. Malisa In a message dated 2/9/2006 1:17:30 P.M.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I also get this feeling when I first crawl out of bed in the morning--I go sit or lay on the couch for a few minutes and it goes away. I will check my blood sugar and it is ok--neither too high or too low. Sometimes i get the feeling while sitting at my desk at work. Sometimes it means my blood sugar is too low--around 60--my bs goes low when I do mental exercise, up with physical exercise. Opposite a regular diabetic. But other times when I get hot and sometimes sweaty and feel sick to my stomach at work I have no explanation. The other day my blood sugar was 115, good for me. I usually end up walking to the bathroom which is cooler, sitting for a while and then coming back sitting at my desk and munching on saltine crackers. The episodes last anywhere from just a couple of minutes to like 10-15 minutes. Have not found a real pattern to them yet. But getting cooled off like for me taking a sweater off (I usually have a tshirt on underneath), going outside--if it is colder outside, turning on a small fan usually helps. Munching on saltine crackers also seems to help. Janet Sample Re: wave of sick feeling Like Shayna, I also get this feeling, most likely from autonomic dysfunction.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I get something like that. In my case, the sweating and desire to get cool are secondary and later in the progress. The feeling is impossible to describe, but is very scary. I feel an instant need to sit or lie down, for fear of falling. I feel nauseous too, but I haven't actually thrown up. I've learned that panicking in any way makes it much worse. I call it a swoon. My version of this is frequently triggered by some mild form of stress, following some kind of movement or exertion, and is more likely in the morning and/or after eating. One theory is that I was holding my breath or somehow not breathing enough. Another that is that for some period of time (based on preceding exercise, diet, etc.) I become especially sensitive to stress. As if the normal stimulation of epinephrine and norepinephrine is either more than usual, or there is a dysfunctional feedback loop. Just guessing, that maybe cortisol is causing most of the physical symptoms. Although I still get it, it's mostly gone away. Can't be sure, but I attribute the improvement to long-term increased dosage of CoQ10 and L-acetyl-carnitine. And knowing how to head it off by being careful when I feel I'm vulnerable.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I get teh sick feeling and feel it is related to fatigue as it always hits half way thru my work day when I am feeling exhausted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Hi Malibear - I often get nausea and also short of breath and dizzy but am afraid I don't know what it is. I know that emotional or physical stress (eg trying to get something done quickly especially in the heat) make me feel sick pretty quickly and I have started drinking Powerade after reading from others about dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, and that makes me feel better (unless the nausea is caused by pain eg from neck muscle spasm in which case I take a panadol). I am trying to be more scientific and observing more carefully, what accompanies what, what I did previously etc that might have triggered this. I have noticed one thing that might be worth mentioning - the nausea etc in my case is not related to blood sugar level (I have a diabetic blood glucose testing kit, and a number of times when i've felt really sick have checked my sugar levels and they have been normal). pamela Re: wave of sick feeling Like Shayna, I also get this feeling, most likely from autonomic dysfunction.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 -- My children and I also get these waves a sick feeling. For me sometimes the wave just does not go away and like Malissa I even have a hard time speaking. I relate this feeling to dysautonomia. Here are some of the things I find that set it off. standing to long, heat, eating too much, stress, prementural, not enough fluids and mornings.My youngest daughter and I always feel ill after eating and it is not related to blood sugar. When you eat your body requires a lot of energy/fluids to digest food. I think this is called postpranal hypotension. Hope this helps a little.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 No problem. I just started munching on them or butter pretzels because they helped me with nausea when I was pregnant and I can keep them at my desk at work. The butter pretzels however have alot more calories and thus I have been opting for the crackers. The crackers though make more of a mess so I need to turn my head when I bite into them and let the crumbs fall into my wastebasket not my keyboard!! I have had to shake out my keyboard a few times!!

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Yes Dawn, I forgot about standing too long as that always makes me have a sick feeling.
