MeganMN Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Hey gang, Wanted to ask about a weird symptom set that I have been having. Intermittently for the last year or so, I have been waking up in the middle of the night with a weird symptom set and wondered if anyone else experienced it. I wake up with a start with tachycardia. It almost feels like a panic attack but it wakes me from a sound sleep. I get tachycardia, shortness of breath, epigastric pain. Then I eat some TUMS or Mylanta, and have diarrhea (no cramping) then all the symptoms slowly subside. Weird. Just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombsh3ll Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Hi Megan, I get similar night time episodes, minus the digestive symptoms. Couple of thoughts - sudden diarrhoea could either be due to the elusive carcinoid you've been scanned for, or alternatively mast cell related. The other possibility that comes to mind is if either of those remedies you mention have magnesium? I take that deliberately to help me go.

Momof3boys Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Start paying attention to what you ate the nights when this happens. I had the same thing going on for a few years & thought I must have some strange intolerance to a spice used in Mexican and/or Italian dishes. Turns out I was having classic gall bladder attacks from the high fat in the Mexican & Italian food I had eaten those nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
