sweating profusely, then unbalanced,and unsteady

[mikeeg]

Yesterday night, out of the blue started to sweat profusely, i mean like my t shirt was soaked  then i felt so unsteady, unbalanced could not stay focused. I went to the bathroom needed to relax and tell myself that it was just lik a panic attack . Did not get better kept on getting head pressures as if i was gooing to fall or faint. After 30 minutes it subsided but still felt the unsteadiness, the feeling like your going to fall, but never do. It was the first time that i was really scared and really did not know what to do or how to tell myself that it was not harmful.This morning i feel the same i have lots of heaviness in my head .Soometimes i wonder why but why me a year and a half ago i was perfectly fine and now im falling apart. Its rare that i post anything but i feel that i always have your support. Many thx for reading and listening.

Could be your anxiety is just doing a "drive by."  So many of us get hit totally out of the blue with dizziness, feeling faint, etc.  But since this has never happened to you before, perhaps you should ask a doctor about it.  If they give you the all-clear (which they likely will), then you won't be as apt to worry the next time it happens.  There's a first time for everything, and anxiety always finds new and exciting ways to surprise us!  It's the gift that keeps on giving!!

But yesterday was like thats it!!! Its going to happen!!! I feel like im the only one that feels unsteady and unbalanced everyday , imagine everyday??? !!!

could it be menieres disease??

My boyfriend has vertigo.  Once it was so bad, he kept throwing up because he was so dizzy and I had to take him to the ER (we weren't sure what was going on at the time).  He actually had 3 or 4 diagnoses, including one from Stanford.  I forget what they said, but the ER said he probably had Labyrinthitis (inflammation of the inner ear).  So, who knows, but he was working at a very stressful job when this started.  He also has tinnitis (started after a short plane ride and never let up).  He also sweats a LOT during the night.  Not underarm stinky sweat, but sweat all over his body.  He gets absolutely drenched sometimes.  He also complains of a heavy head a lot.  So, you and he are somewhat similar.

His symptoms are from stress, I am convinced.  Just as I'm sure yours are.  It's just really hard to break that cycle, though, if you have a stressful situation at work and whatnot.  And employers know they have the upper hand more than ever - they can make you stand on your head, cut your pay, cut your hours, whatever - whadda ya gonna do about it?  "Leave?  Fine, there's the door!  I have 300 applications in front of me of people who want your job!" type of thing.

could it be menieres disease??

Of the 3 or 4 thgings my BF was "diagnosed" with, Menieres wasn't one of them. I've looked up the symptoms before, but it's been a while and can't remember them exactly, but I think there's more to it than just feeling unsteady, and I don't know about the sweating having to do with it.  The sweating might have an endochrine component to it but not sure.  Actually, acupuncture is good for that, but costly because you have to keep going for a little while.

What sucks is that i feel well  and then boom!!! It hits me like a ton of bricks!!

That would happen to my BF, too.  Sometimes just getting into bed was a toughie - he'd have to lay there still for a bit as the room would be spinning.

Could be a lot of things. Have you gotten your Thyroid checked latley? Profuse sweating can be a sign of Hypothyroidism. Hormones might be out of wack.

Oh yeah, my boyfriend's thyroid is off!  I forgot about that. 

[mikeeg]

Just did the whole bloodwork, ekg,urinalysis thing evertyhing was a ok! So no, cannot be thyroid.

[mizzou]

Did they test bloodwork specifically for thyroid? CBC and other routine bloodwork does not tell you if your thyroid is out of wack. You need to get one that tests for TSH and T3/T4 and thyroidantibody. I know cause I though a routine bloodtest showede everything and I was wrong

i did t3 and t4 last september came back normal

[mikeeg]

Funny feeling lately i have been always horny!!!! Is that from hormones being out of wack?? Please help! thx
