Subject: Re: BODY 'COOKS' WHEN I SLEEP Whenever I go to sleep, my body temeprature rises significantly, even though most times I am unaware of it. It doesnt matter if I have bedclothes on or if I just lay on the bed, and it doesnt matter if I sleep during the day or at night. I often am woken from my sleep with severe disabling headache. I have often woken up to find all the bed clothes wet with sweat and myself also soaked in sweat. Funnily enough, I do not seem to wake up because of this, it seems that I may wake to go to the toilet or because of the headache. My body temperature also stays elevated for about half an hour after I wake. This problem has become almost cosntant over the last 8 months. I also am having a battle with high blood pressure that is not responding to treatment. This has only been a problem in the last 8 months also. What I would like to know is: Does anyone else have this problem? Could the headaches, and high BP be linked to the temperature raise and sweats? What type of Dr should I consult - ie does it have to do with my endocrine system, hypothalamus or what? Any info would be greatly appreciated Thanks DEBBUIE
