Mysterious Symptoms Keeping Me Up at Night

I am having strange symptoms lately we can’t seem to pinpoint. I wake up at about 3 am drenched in sweat and freezing with nausea. I can’t calm down or stop the sweating. I can’t go back to sleep because I feel so bad and it’s always followed by migraine and vertigo. Vertigo is so bad lately I haven’t been able to work in almost 2 weeks. Thank god for FMLA. I welcome any thoughts…I’m so frustrated 😩

      so. not to be morbid or create anxiety or anything but uh. every time this happened to me, a 30 day holter monitor revealed it was happening because my heart was going into VFib or SVT and cardioverting itself while I was asleep. I was literally on the brink of death and coming back, which tends to take a toll on a person. What's interesting is I would usually be having a nightmare at the time and was always extremely anxious in the dream

      Try wearing a fitbit to track your sleep, if it's a reoccurring issue maybe you can see where your heart rate and breathing rate is at and also what phase if sleep this is happening in.

      i’m not sure if this is something you or your providers have considered, but my GERD has similar symptoms of waking up incredibly nauseous. something that really helps me is sleeping on an inclined wedge or a stack of pillows so that my head/throat stay above my stomach rather than laying flat. not sure if that is something that could help you!

      I personally wake up sweaty when I’m dehydrated. I have POTS so I’m chronically dehydrated, but when I’m super dehydrated my autonomic nervous system freaks out at night making me wake up drenched in sweat, heart rate pounding.

      I ask this not to be controversial, but as a way of helping. Have you had Covid recently? These sound like symptoms and / or signs of post-viral illness (Google long Covid). I would definitely mention these to your doctor & an affirming medical professional who knows about LC. At the very least they can rule it out and seek out other possible sources. I hope you get relief soon 💕

          @Katertots you’re very welcome! If you need any resources related to it or studies / findings / want to be connected with some LC support groups feel free to message me. I hope you get some answers!
