When I sweat, it's really painful. It feels like I'm being stabbed into my back and upper chest with needles. There is no rash, only an occasional itch. Sometimes the sweating comes on quickly and out of nowhere, as if it were a hot flash. But I've gone through menopause and I don't get hot flashes any more.
I have been diagnosed with gallstones. What foods can I eat to help them dissolve so I don't have to have surgery?
At least once a week I experience a bout of extreme dizziness. It is accompanied by a physical feeling of being turned upside down, and everything looks upside down and blurred to me. It is very sudden and random. My body feels very heavy when this happens, like I'm on the kind of amusement park ride that pushes you backwards in your seat. My mother suggested it could be linked to the supplement melatonin. I take 5 mg of sublingual melatonin a night to help me sleep. Have you ever heard of melatonin causing this type of dizziness?
I started having side effects of a drug that was prescribed to me. I stopped taking the drug but the side effects are still there. How long does it take for a drug to be out of your system?
