sometimes i get sweating, light headed, dizzy,my hands and legs shake...what could it be?

Answer 1

It could be anything from a panic attack, to hypoglycemia...blood pressure issues, or a respiratory infection. Go to a doctor and tell them what's going on. Trust me on this...I waited to go once because I thought it was all in my head, and it actually was. What I mean is...I had an anyerism that burst. The problem was...the symptoms were the SAME as a sinus headache so I blew it off for a long time, until worse things started happening. So...be safe rather than sorry. Good luck!

Answer 3

I get this if I do anything too strenuous after a big meal. The only cure for me is to eat chocolate bars as quickly as possible. As soon as I swallow the first bite, I can feel the attack fading.

So I'd go with the lack of sugar theory.

Answer 4

Sounds like you're low on blood sugar (glucose). Go to your local pharmacy ask get some glucose tablets. Chew one or two and walk around a bit to get the blood flowing, and soon start feeling like your normal-self. Keep some tablets with you for those lousy days when you just simply have no time to eat. I do.

Some thyroid disorders can be cured, but many require lifetime treatment. Learn here https://tr.im/fWRys
For example, sometimes early stage thyroid cancer can be cured by surgery to remove the thyroid gland, but you will need to take thyroid hormone medication afterwards for the rest of your life. Goiters can also be surgically removed and do not always recur after surgery. In most cases, thyroid disorders need treatment over a lifetime. However, with treatment most people with thyroid disorders can live normal, healthy lives.

That's a pretty vague and limited description that can be attributed to a number of things. Like others said, low sugar (if you haven't eaten recently, etc) or anxiety could be to blame. Diabetes could be something to look into, like having your doctor do a blood sugar test...

Heat intolerance (too hot too easily) and muscular weakness (shaky, trip/fall a lot, legs go out from under you) can be a thyroid problem... Specifically, for the heat intolerance, it'd probably be overactive thyroid (hyperthyroid)... I think muscular weakness can be hyperthyroid OR hypothyroid (low thyroid). Do you find you're losing more hair lately? Always tired? Brittle nails? Look up some thyroid websites; try search phrase "thyroid symptoms" on Google.com, and see if anything you experience matches up. If it does, you might ask your doctor about TSH/T3/T4 blood testing to rule out (or diagnose) thyroid problem (and remember: ask him for the actual LEVELS--look up "thyroid levels" or "thyroid level ranges" on google.com for info--don't just let him say you're not in range and leave it at that. I had doctors (regular PCPs, who don't specialize so they don't always know the latest info) for years tell me I wasn't in range, but according to new studies about levels--placing appropriate levels at a range of .3 to 3.0 which is a change from their previous range of .5 to 5.0--my level was WAAAAYYY low. It bordered "too low" even at the old range. If you think your PCP has misdiagnosed, see a specialist... it's what I had to do, when I found out what my levels really were).

Besides the previous things, it could be something along the lines of an allergy. Notice what you've been doing, where you've gone, what you've eaten/smelled/touched, or other circumstances when this sweating and stuff occurs. If it seems to happen consistently with a particular thing (such as eating grapes, or walking through a field on your way to class, etc) then it may be indicitive of allergic reactions to something. Perhaps you can narrow down what might be your allergen, collect samples, and go to your PCP for blood analysis (they can test how you'd react to possible allergens by taking a blood sample and doing tests using those potential allergy-causing items).

Depending on what you're doing, or what time of year it is, it could be heat exhaustion/heat stroke. Heat stroke is pretty serious, and as I understand it, pretty rare--I believe it often results in death, so it's not as likely that you're experiencing heat stroke. Heat exhaustion, however, is common. One summer I was camping with family, spent too long in the lake without replenishing my sunscreen, and by the evening was TERRIBLY sunburned. The next morning, when it was again daytime and therefore warm again, I got outa bed (tents, campground, you know) and after a short while was feeling so overly fatigued I couldn't stand or walk without feeling like I'd collapse. I felt weak, parched (but I couldn't work up enough strength to get to the water), and I sat down on one of those picnic table seats (the attached ones) but could hardly keep myself from falling over. I was sunburned over my entire torso, face and arms (and even the part in my hair)... and my upper arms had second degree burns (dozens of minute round blisters all over, and 1-2 caterpillar-like blisters at the very top of each arm, just below my rotator cuff).

It was not fun. I don't recommend heat exhaustion. If you're feeling dizzy and lightheaded, and you've been working/playing out in the sun a lot, it could be Heat Exhaustion: sit or lay in a shady spot, dab yourself with cool, moist wash cloths (or any cloth you can wet and use), and take it easy a while. The feeling should pass, and it shouldn't turn too serious.


Besides all those suggestions, I can think of nothing else that readily comes to mind. For any one of those suggestions or anything else, it may be best to schedule an appointment with your PCP and just see what he says about it, or find out if he can run a couple tests if this reaction you have happens recurrently (maybe it's something besides diabetes, thyroid or allergy that (s)he can test for and discover).

Good luck, feel better!

For now you should eat some sweets and later go see a doctor. You're probably diabetic.
