Accepted Answer

Check your sugars: I would first be sure to check your glucose and make sure it is not going down too low. If that is not the case you should check with your GP to have some bloods checked and makes sure there are no other problems like your thyroid or other issues.

Question 4

i'm 36. cannot lose weight (healthy diet/exercise reg.) low libido, chronic constipation, dry skin on legs and my head sweats a lot! help!

Accepted Answer

Need evaluation: It sounds like you need an in-person visit to your doctor, especially evaluating thyroid function.  Also you need to keep a meticulous food diary for a couple of weeks, recording everything you eat or drink -- and not changing anything.  You might discover trends you didn't realize were there -- many of my patients do. A nutritionist ; trainer may help you a lot, even if you also need thyroid help.

Hang over: Hour symptoms are similar to hangover (alcohol withdrawal) symptoms after  moderate to heavy drinking.
