What Could Cause Light Headedness,shivering And Cold?
I am a night worker..I had slept pretty much all day..I got up ..dressed for work...felt a little light headed..then suddenly I was COLD...and shivering...and felt faint..I didn't feel warm until several minutes after having warm sheets wrapped around me...
could this be a diabetic type episode..never have had this problem before...rarely have to call in sick..once in 3 years...healthy seemingly all the rest of the time.. 59 year old woman..
