Can anyone help? Sleep, sweat, etc
by MsRiggio, Apr 22, 2008 03:34PM
Where to begin.....I am CONSTANTLY tired; for AT LEAST 2 or 3 years now, this has been a problem. I sleep 6-11 hours a day, typically with a nap. I fall asleep for slip seconds at work, I tend to 'drift off' (but not to sleep, in a daze) when driving. Here are some other issues I am having that seem to be tons of different problems, but maybe they have something in common: I sweat at night,...all the time, profusely. I thought it could be linens, and changed what I use. My husband thought it could be clothing, so I now opt for near nothing. I still sweat. My body hurts; it's mainly my head, neck, shoulders and sometimes my back. I had a back surgery years ago to remedy at least that. I have ringing in my ears...horrible, horrible ringing that tends to make me dizzy and light-headed. Sometimes the ringing is low, sometimes high, less-intense, more-intense....I'm soooo tired, and dizzy, and sweaty....and my body hurts...why?? What is wrong with me? Stats: age: 27, sex: female, work schedule: M-F, appx 7:30-3:30 or 4, no children, have done blood tests-normal, have been seen for apnea-apparently not apnea; taking Paxil, but conditions existed before meds, normal, regular exercise 3-4 times a week

My mother inlaw had the same symptoms and she was diagnoses with sleep apnea she would wake up during the night and her bed would be soaked and when she did wake up she could hear sounds in her head that were very intense she said sometimes it would sound like chains hitting each other. she also had terrible head aches. they put her on a breathing machine at nite to monitor her breathing and she is better she still has trouble. I am not sure if this is what you have but it sounds very similar and you should get help if it is because the doc told her this could be very dangerous because you stop breathing at times. hope this helps....oh and if this is what it is i will send you the doc bill......just playing....good luck!

Seeing neurologist and tmj specialist is advised.
