Help! Wake up disoriented, shaking internally, feeling awful!
Posted , 3 users are following.
5 months ago i woke up felt strange light headed and a little disoriented went to the toilet and on returning to my bed felt very much like i was blacking out. My body was shaking uncontrollably I was feeling very cold, tight across the lower back of head, felt as though my tongue was a lil swollen and very dry mouth-kept needing water. I felt like I couldnt lay down but didn't feel much better sitting up, I also feel heavy in the upper stomach and nauseated. It was a very horrible experience. Since then i have had this 5 more times. Mostly in the hours between 4-5am however 2 times of a late evening. I suffer from normal to lower blood pressure and even though my blood sugar have been in the high 4s n low 5s I start to feel as though my body is dropping. My blood pressure on these occassions have sat at 130/100 give or take a few, during this time i also can feel very intolerant to my surroundings. My insulin fasting was 23 now 15 I have been concentrating on diet. The Dr thinks pre diabetes and I am very sensitive to most things. I do have an underactive thyroid however this is fine and well controlled. I don't take any other medications. I do have folate and vit d occassional vit e and thats all. My adrenal and cortisol test came back fine.
I would love to hear if anyone else has had a diagnosis to this horrible experience and if not how do you cope. It is starting to become more frequent and isn't getting any less concerning.

I have the same type of thing the only thing that helps is vomiting when I cant make it down the stairs I just have to try and lay back down. it wakes me out of my sleep when it does happen. I haven't got a diagnosis yet but I think eating more protein, definetly make sure you're drinking enough water. Also eating some peanut butter or almond butter has helped in the past. just keep It where you don't have to walk long distances through your house.I'm still at a loss for why exactly it happens to me. At some points ive actually blacked out and hit my head when I was walking through a doorway. and ive woken up from the floor of my bathroom when ive gone to throw up, don't even know how long I have been out for at a time. that's why I don't try and go downstairs or walk around much anymore when it happens.
