Let It Bleed

You're going to be alright. Keep your head up. Take care and keep the board updated.

I've had some pretty rough motion sickness all my life. I dare not try to read while in the car. (pukes)

I took this into consideration and it adds up. I have low everything. Blood pressure, blood sugar, pulse, so I figure if it's from a depressed autonomic nervous system overall, why wouldn't my tempature be naturally low? So I took my tempature, now that I'm feeling fine. It's at 96.0, so prehaps my 98.7 tempature that occured while I was feeling "slightly feverish" was legit. Thanks for your input.

Appreciate the replies everyone. I just got in from Dallas, I drove over 1,000 miles in 24 hours and had very, very little sleep. I couldn't see straight, mentally - I wasn't "all there" but the good news is the feverish symptom mostly resolved. I had a hot flash or two this afternoon but it seems to be clearing, again. I've had my sed. checked, but never during one of those episodes, they happen quite a few times a year and tend to last a week or so. I don't know if I'll ever know what causes it. Thanks again.

Occasionally I have severe hypogycemic episodes. They progress quickly, but are rare, maybe twice a year. These have put me in the ER. I once saw a little clinic set up at one of our local malls. They were doing blood sugar and blood pressure screening, this was shortly before I was DX with Dysautonomia. My blood sugar was 52 and my blood pressure was 59/32ish. I felt fine.

Better Philly than Texas! This happened once, and I was without A/C for 9 days or so, in the middle of July. Air tempature outside averaged around 104-105, inside, much higher. Torwards the end of the ordeal, I became very weak and ill. I hope you get things worked out early today.

I took an Aleve (fever reducer) earlier and feel better. I feel like I'm running fever, fever medications reduce symptoms, but I'm not registering a fever. So. EDIT: It's 5 AM. I am feeling very feverish. Walking out of my warm bedroom into the cooler house is a shock.. I'm very sensitive to the tempature change. I even feel a little achy. I was convinced that I am sick, so I took my tempature. 98.7. No fever. This is strange. I know the advice you're going to give me: Go to a doctor. I should probably take it. But I was offered a great deal on a truck and have to drive 350 miles to get it (700 round trip) because of the offer expires today.. so.. I'll be back later tonight. On the blood pressure: Interesting. I run my lowest blood pressure while sleeping. When woken from sleep during these episodes I'm often weak and semi-alert, and a little spacey. It rises once I really stir and get myself going. I'm not sure if it's normal for blood pressure to run 30/0 during sleep or even when I've been awake. I should probably start seeing a doctor for this condition. I saw one in the past when I would faint upon standing (constantly). Tilt table test diagnosed me. DX: Dysautonomia/POTS. I looked up dysautonomia and learned that many of the other general symptoms associated with the disease is what I've suffered from my entire life. I even searched this forum and found posts from last year in which people complained of feeling hot and feverish at times. The more I've read about dysautonomia, the more I believe there is more to this condition than meets the eye. I appreciate the replies. Take care.

Wow.. I had 30something/0 too! They said it wouldn't register. Two nurses and one doctor got the same reading. That was just a few weeks ago. I guess there is no danger in running pressure that low? What about our organs? They seemed to be OK with it.. but.. that was my lowest asymptomatic reading up to that point.

I'm a man who has been diagnosed with dysautonomia years ago. Orthostatic hypotension and all the general symptoms we all suffer from. I have this symptom that has come and gone over the years with no explanation. It stikes me every few months. Symptom: I feel hot, internally. Very feverish, but I run a normal a completely normal tempature. These episodes are very real, in fact I often break into a light sweat. Anytime I become feverish it sets on suddenly and lasts a few days or a week or two. I have a few moments where I feel decent and then I feel a surge of warmth and beging to lightly sweat. Nothing heavy, but very uncomfortable. It's often how I imagine women feel with hot flashes. Even my breath feels hot, my throat feels hot, my entire head feels hot to me, but to everyone else it feels normal. I'm having a flare-up of it, only this time I generally feel unwell. I'm not sick. Just.. out of it. But, my main concern is the feverish feelings inside that last for days, weeks. I don't even feel like getting out of bed. Let me know what you guys think. (Also, for the record, I have freaky blood pressure and pulse. Not from standing, but in general. Some of you will call me a liar, but I've startled physcians and nurses when getting my BP taken in the office or hospital, because at times it runs 50's over 30's and im asymptomatic. They were skeptical that it would be that low and often another staff memeber took my blood pressure with a different cuff and got the same results. Regardless of wether I was laying or sitting up. I've had a couple hospital stays in which nurses came bolting in my room every hour because my blood pressure would drop into the 50's even upper 40's over 20's. They always thought it was a false reading so they would do the manual cuff and get the same reading. Freaks me out. But, back to the fever...)
