Question 1

in the past month i lost my appetite & 20lbs but my stomach is bigger. i'm stressed/depressed, been getting hot flashes, faint, nauseous and much more?

Accepted Answer

Time for a full exam: That's a pretty intense set of complaints and it's unlikely to simply turn around on its own - whatever is wrong. You really need to have a good exam to discover the cause(s) and follow-up w/ appropriate treatment. I hope it's easier to resolve than you may fear - but 'just do it!' Best wishes!

Accepted Answer

Panic attack: It sounds like you may have experienced a panic attack, which can occur out of the blue or in the context of an ongoing depression or anxiety disorder.  These can also be brought on by various substances like caffeine, amphetamines, etc.  If this was your first-ever episode, please see your family doctor for a general checkup; you can see psychiatrist for eval and treatment of this condition.

See doc.: Your symptoms are probably benign, but could potentially represent some bad things which will need labs and a good exam to exclude.

could anxiety cause hot flashes, weak feeling, lightheadedness,  brain tightening,  heart feeling weird and a feeling like your going to faint butwont?

See details: Yes it can but there are also medical disorders that can cause the same symptoms such as thyroid disorders.  I would see an internist for a complete history, physical, and appropriate blood tests.  Your doctor can direct you to the proper specialist if needed.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

: Not feasible to be precise, but migraine is often accompanied by postural lightheadedness, and this is a consideration.  So is, dehydration,  postural  hypotension, POTS, anemia, hypoglycemia, etc.  Key is to see your doctor and  get this pin-pointed  and appropriately managed.

Question 7

i have pain in the center of stomach it happens anytime of day for a year but it's not all the days.causes hot flashes, feel like fainting at sometime?

Accepted Answer

Visit a doc/GI spec: I am sorry about your stomach pains.  The symptoms that you are describes can be any number of things.  You need to speak with a doc who can take a full history and physical exam (Abdominal, and Pelvic exam), with labs to help narrow down the issue.  This might require the services of a GI specialist or an OB/Gyn because it could involve your stomach, pancreas, intestine, ovaries, uterus.

Question 8

i've donated blood 7 times. each time i get a more severe reaction of hot flashes, goosebumps, light-headedness, and nausea. this time i passed out.

Accepted Answer

Vasovagal response: Some people have this response to blood donation or seeing blood from themselves or other people.  It can be normal if it only happens with blood donation.

Question 9

i havebeen having these sharp bad pains to my lower abdomen for about three days but i have no appendix. could this be a reason for me having dizzy spells, fainting, puking, and having hot flashes? should i see the doctor!

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you are a woman, there would be many other potential causes of pain in the lower abdomen more so than in man -- so yes, please see your doctor or visit a local urgent care right now -.

Question 10

relief for hot flashes?

Accepted Answer

Start with diet.: Hot flashes or flushes, may happen due to decreased estrogen production. Hypothyroidism and hypoglycemia may cause identical symptoms. Start by eating the proper mix of protein, carbohydrates and fat. Schedule meals every 3.5 hours will work better that eating only when hungry. See your doctor. Don't tough it out.
