What Causes Hot Flushes With Shivering All Over The Body?
Last night I was resting on my couch. It started with a hot feeling in my stomach which proceeded down my legs and up to my face. My legs felt like they would not support me if I tried to stand. Then I started to shake. Slowly at fight in then more violent. My hand were shaking and then my head started to shake up and down. This last about half hour. I do have positional vertigo which will cause my head to shake but not like this or for this long. What could be causing this?

Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to hypoglycemia.
Kindly check fasting and postprandial blood sugar level. Kindly take 2 teaspoons of sugar.
Along with that check, TSH to rule of hyperthyroidism.
Avoid hot and humid environment. In case of fever, take tab Tylenol and do blood investigations after consultation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
