What kinds of things cause cold sweats?

[Ladyhawk]

I've been sweating and feeling cold for the past several days. It's very uncomfortable!

1. Anxiety or a fever are the first two things that come to mind. n/t

2. Certain meds, cardiac problems.

Call your doctor.

3. The thought of missing a mortgage payment..

Stress, IOW, is the most common cause...

6. Cold sweats and a bad headache?

before a mod locks this thread, I advise you go to the doctor quickly. get someone to take you.

7. There are too many factors which might contribute to what's happening.

Call your personal physician or naturopath tomorrow. Don't mess around.

It's probably nothing serious, but cold sweats would seem to indicate some sort of underlying condition that's manifesting itself. Good luck.

8. I will go to the doctor...sorry, mods, I forgot about asking others for...

...medical advice.

The doctor I have is fairly competent for once. :) I think I'm fine until tomorrow.

I'm sitting naked in my apartment. It's cold outside. I have the air conditioning on and I'm sweating bullets. I thought I'd try getting cold instead of getting warm, but no matter what I do, I sweat bullets.

Tomorrow = doctor if I'm not better.

I half-suspect it's a hormone imbalance and I haven't been good about taking my blood glucose levels.

9. do you have a fever?

Sometimes when you have a fever you feel cold...cause the air is much cooler than your body. Other things are pain and shock.

10. Ooh, LadyHawk, I get 'em too.

Awful things, especially at night. I've had hot flashes from medication too, and I can't say which is worse. They are both pure HELL.

For me, it's pre-menopause, I'm fairly certain.

You have my deepest sympathies.

12. Take your blood sugar if you have a BS monitor

and if it is reading real low, call or go to the ER immediately.

Other than that, go to your health professional and have some more tests, that which he or she will order to determine the problem.

13. Happened to me twice

First time was when I was losing a great deal of blood. It also caused massive dizziness.

The second time was when I had gestational diabeties and my blood sugar dipped really low. (Try drinking some juice or sugar water if you're diabetic.)
