I go from sweating needing to unrinate or hot to very cold. I have a fan on my hospital table and an overhead remote fan. I also keep a little spray bottle with water in it. You need some lorezapam or other anxiety medication for at night when your stuck in bed. I get feeling crazy inside myself if I don't get some kind of exercise every few days. You got to keep trying things until you can get yourself feeling relaxed. Even changing position, some sort of background music, something on your head.

Woke up overheated which sometimes causes a claustrophobic / panic feeling. I felt panicked and like I could not get enough of a breath. I also felt like I was going to get sick. I thought maybe a UTI or something. They were worried about my heavy chest, so I had an x-ray, CAT scan, which lead to an angioplasty. Luckily everything came out fine. They think my heavy chest is from my spine curving causing pressure. So they are setting up an appointment with a lung doctor soon. I did have a UTI also. But I get so frustrated with this stupid panic feeling. I worry about everything and can't stop. I worry about that I'm going to worry. Wake up feeling like I just have to get up into my chair. It's a scary panic. It use to happen maybe once every few years, but lately it's more often. I think it's my heavy chest making it worse. I just don't feel like I'm getting enough oxygen. The doc says the lung doc might subscribe an oxygen tank at night. Once the feeling is one, I feel so stupid about worrying about that stuff. Getting overheated seems to be the trigger point most of the time. The problem is I feel so cold at night, even shivering. I would swear I'm cold… But if I uncover a bit and cool off, I actually get better. So I swear I'm cold, but actually I'm too hot. This only started a few years ago. Anyone else have that issue? I'm sure it's a nerve ending issue. But I just shake I feel so cold, problem is sometimes it is because I'm cold. So anything I do to get warmer only makes me shiver more and get more overheated. So I just don't know if I'm hot or cold, it feels exactly the same. No fun getting old, Greg
