Feeling hot and being thirsty are signs of diabetes. However, one week's worth of symptoms is not enough to say for sure. A doctor can tell you if your blood sugar is out of whack, so you may need to go, money or not. If it's not driving you crazy, maybe give it another week, on a healthy diet, easy on the sugary stuff, lots of veggies and whole grains. you could just have a funky case of the flu. Take your temperature?

If these problems go away in the next couple of days maybe you could put them down to stress. But if the symptoms persist you should get checked out . Being thirsty all the time is a symptom of diabetes. As for the nausea after eating....I have experienced that twice.The first was due to gallbladder problems,the second because I was pregnant.Hope I was some help.

If you know someone who is diabetic and does their own sugar testing, see if they will check yours. Of course it should be checked while you are feeling badly. You really should see a doctor anyway though. Your hormones could be out of whack. You may still be going through puberty at 18. If you are really thirsty, I would guess your blood sugar is high.

This is serious, tell your Mom, Dad, or legal guardian.
and don't forget to take your vitamins! They have"The Perfect Pill for nutritionally supporting healthy Blood Glucose Levels!" And if you are worried about money, you could also make some money selling vitamins like I do. Check out my website:I could give you a voucher for 35.00 to get started if you want to.

But like the other person stated earlier, this sounds like Diabetes and is serious and you should see your doctor, you can't rely on vitamins alone, although they can definately help. Also, quit eating white sugar, this is bad for Diabetics.

Just FYI, you can get hot flashes and menopause-like symptoms with your period or the week before (pms)
Nausea is also a pms /period symptom.
If you haven't had them in the past you could be developing them.

First off...relax and take your body temp.what was your blood pressure/?
do you know someone who has a test kit for diabetis ( that could tell you) Sometimes
it could be somthing like your gall bladder
an infection or even your appendix. sometimes you can get aid in your medical bills.

Your symptoms sound like diabetes. You really need to see a doctor.

I think you really should find a free clinic or someplace where you can discuss this with a doctor-sounds serious.

sounds like sugar diabetes to me, you really should go see a doctor.The thirsty part sounds pretty suspicious, diabetics suffer with that regularly.You know you can go to your local clinic, they bill you by your income.........
