Question 1

all day/night hot flashes w/clammy sweats, pounding/fast hr, trembly fingers, revved up, shaky, shooting ab pain. mind is calm. ekg norm, cmp/cbc norm?

Accepted Answer

More tests needed: Hello, these type of symptoms could be related to an over active thyroid (hyperthyroidism) or can also be seen in women approaching menopause. Both of these can easily be checked with blood tests ( thyroid-TSH/FT4, menopause transition-FSH). Adrenal disorders can also cause similar symptoms but are less likely. More information would be helpful to direct a work up.

Question 2

my 5 month old has cold clammy sweats, should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

See answer: If infant is feeding well and putting on weight, active and responsive with good overall development then there shd be no cause for concern. However u shd raise the issue with his pediatrician on his next well baby visit to elicit a detailed response  if worried u shd see someone as son as possible.  One common cause cld be overdressing - which u shd be able to solve by reducing a few layers.

Question 3

what causes cold sweats and clammy skin?

Accepted Answer

Depends: You may have fever and be infected or you may be having anxiety or a panic attack.  If it happens often you may have an anxiety syndrome.

Problems that include pain such as a broken bone, anemia from blood loss, or appendicitis can also cause it. /discuss this with your doctor you may need therapy.

she consumes massive amounts of soda (two liters at a time) plus she takes caffeine pills, all day long.. she is cold and clammy to touch sweats alot!?

Accepted Answer

Who is "she"?: Caffeine abuse is a medical condition, and is listed in the dsm-iv together with other forms of drug abuse.  Whoever "she" is, it sure sounds like this is a case of severe caffeine abuse.  Caffeine raises blood pressure and pulse, can produce anxiety, tremor and even agitation and psychotic features.  If this is a loved one or friend, strongly suggest medical evaluation, and tapering of caffeine.

Question 7

i have recently been waking up sweaty at night, i also feel flushed.. i read on the internet it can be a sign of cancer... but i am not waking up with "drenching" sweats.. more like just very clammy... what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Not sure what to mak: I can not make much about  it from what you have told me. Internet information is often misleading, so avoid getting into it unless you have some medical background.  If you are feeling unwell(loss of appetite or weight loss), you should have a medical check up, just to be sure that all is well.

Question 8

past few months i've been having night sweats,not drenching but very clammy, and a bit wet, specifically at the back of neck and legs, what is this?!

Accepted Answer

Night sweats: Mild sweating at night can result from a warm room or covers too heavy. However, soaking night sweats- often indicate potentially serious infections or inflammatory disorders. (TB and malaria are classical examples, in people at risk for them.) Sweating usually means fever going down during the night. Take your temperature a few times a day and see your doctor soon to make sure it's not serious.

Question 9

Stop!: Before you do ny more workouts please seek full work-up by a specialist Cardiologist. Your symptoms are disturbing. would be extremely helpful if you wrote down your history in detail and brought it with you to the Cardiologist.
