Night 'shivering'

[Redrum]

About 3 nights ago I awoke suddenly having had the most horrendous nightmares and the next night I awoke with uncontrollable shivering and I was so so cold, lots of blankets and extra duvet on my bed, so I seemed warm (didnt have the central heating on though), however, I was at the same time lathered in sweat....what was this all about ?????

my dad woke up at 5:00 the other morning after having nightmares and he was shivering quite violently, hes now been in hospital for 3 days. dont want to worry ya but it sounds similar.

I get a really wierd cold sweat just before I have a meniere's disease vertigo attack, it's really quite scary.

Could you be coming down with something?

[Drisgirl]

Perhaps phone NHS 24 for advice.I would as thats what they are there for and are extremely helpful.Hope all is well x

[Redrum]

Oooo, sorry to hear that Benny, but what is wrong with your dad ??? Im worried now....

[Redrum]

I can honestly say I have never experienced any symptoms like these before, could it be due to the really low temperatures we have been having, I have had a mild cold but it didnt turn into flu or anything worse...and I feel fine otherwise. It just scared me a little.....

Maybe your coming down with something. Just take it easy and if you have any worries contact your Doc or NHS24.

[Redrum]

Someone I work with told me it sounded like a mild form of hypothermia....

[benny3008]

suspected, collapsed lung, pneumonia or pulmonary embolism, he had real high BP which i why they took him in. Sorry, didnt mean to worry ya. hope you feel better soon. :-)

Dont torment yourself as you can quite probably be making yourself anxious now which also causes symptoms -phone NHS24.

Have no idea if you are male or female but it couldn't me menopausal could it?

[Redrum]

Am female Jenna....but fingers crossed NOT quite the menopause yet....lol (I hope).

Maybe it was just something to do with the nightmare, they can seem very real. I doubt it was anything serious as it would have gotten progressively worse.

[Redrum]

Having done some research on the net, I think Im suffering from anxiety, had a lot going on lately......and most of my symptoms seem to match this ......

[Jemisa]

Oooo! I know how that feels RR, the thing is you may suffer it again until you've got your anxiety out the way, I had the same a few months back, & I went out & bought an electric blanket kept it on low through the night and "Touch Wood" problem solved.

No big deal....very common condition in women.....often unknown cause.

Give it a couple of weeks and if it doesn't settle then see your GP as it will need blood tests to exclude a hormonal cause.
