What Causes Dizziness, Hot Flashes And Chilling?

I am experiencing odd things. I call them "episodes" It usually begins with a dizzy, light headed feeling, as if im going to pass out. this can accur any time, sitting, standing, laying down. it is accompanied by hot flash and sweaty under arms, then cold chills. Then it feels as if my leg and left arm muscles tense up and ache and sometimes shooting pains. then a "dizzy" head ache with pain in temple occurs. this has happened numerous times in last week. I do have constant aching in legs and they jerk uncontrolably. Any ideas on what could be causing this.

Endocrinologist 's  Response
Hello and thank you for asking!
I have gone carefully through your concern.
Your symptoms may be suggestive for many pathologies but the first to be excluded are, hypertension and an overactive thyroid.
I would suggest to monitor the blood pressure and check the thyroid function (TSH.FT4 and Ft3).
Do not hesitate to attach the results for further suggestions.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
