What Could Cause Yellow/white Slim On The Tongue On Waking Up, Tiredness, Hot Body Even When Outside Is Cold?

I have been waking up with my tongue having yellow/white slim with what looks like a mixture of snot and blood daily. I brush my teeth, scrape my tongue and use mouthwash. Now I am noticing I am very tired, can't stay awake to drive to or from work, during work or even to watch a 30 min show on television. I am also very hot, wearing less clothing even though it is in the negatives weather temp wise here. My sheets and pillow are soaked nightly. Could these symptoms related and is it something I should been seen for.

Hi there,

Thanks for your query. more information is needed to pinpoint the exact cause.

However, the symptoms are suggestive of either

* A thyroid problem (particularly, under-functioning thyroid glands), AND/OR

* A chronic underlying illness, such as tuberculosis, sarcoidosis or a remote possibility of Lymphoma, blood cancers (in view of drenching night sweats).

You therefore need to undergo a thorough, relevant workup.

Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me, order required tests, and- based on the reports- will prescribe suitable treatment.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care
