Cold, Sweaty, Weak, Blurry Vision - lasted only for a while?
Question Posted Friday July 10 2009, 12:22 pm
So just earlier this morning after I got up, I suddenly felt very hot-ish cold (like fever type, but I had no fever - 97.1), sweaty, and weak. I was also told I looked extremely pale. I had to sit down or lay down or something. Then I noticed my vision was a little blurry/black-ish. I even felt a little nauseous at one point. This went away after a while and now I feel good as new.
This has actually happened two other times, I believe. The first it happened I had just gotten home from vacation (this was two years ago) and I figured it was from jet lag or something to the effect. It lasted for a very short amount of time. Then the next time it just happened randomly, and didnt last too long, so I didn't think much of it. But this time it really kinda freaked me out and I'm wondering if there's something wrong. I'm thinking of going to the doctor... should I? Anyone know what's wrong?
Additional info, added Friday July 10 2009, 12:25 pm: I also wanted to point out that I did just start running cross country for high school. I just started Monday, and it's from 6-8am. I also just started my period (a week early), and the cramps seemed to make it even worse. . Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category? Maybe give some free advice about: Illnesses? steph2k10 answered Sunday July 12 2009, 1:24 am: I was actually in sports and had this happen to me a few times. I actually went to the doctor and he checked me out. He told me that I was severely dehydrated. ALSO, I found out that I had a tendency to lock my knees without thinking about it, even when it was at home or out with friends.
Do not lock your knees.
Suprisingly, most people do not drink enough water to keep themselves hydrated, even when they dont do any extra curricular activities.
most of the time we dont feel the side effects because we dont exert too much energy. BUT once you start something like cross country, your body has to adjust to losing the extra fluids, so you need to drink even more to compensate for that.
also, severe weather/ pressure changes can do the same thing.

make sure you have a water bottle by you as much as you can and dont stand up to fast, or quickly move after gettin out of the shower or bath.
if the problem persists then you should probably go to the doctor.
hope i helped ! feel better
