I feel like I'm going to faint, I was trying to sleep when I felt all light in my hands and upper body, help

Question

I've had this before but never did anything about it, I feel all light in my arms, hands, head, shoulders, it gets worse when I move, i think it has something to do with the bottle of Coca Cola I had, I was fine until I finished it before attempting to sleep, many people in the past have asked me if I am diabetic or if I have hypoglycemia, all I know is that my last blood test said I wasn't diabetic. what should I do?

Answer 1

stop drinking caffeen products before bed. try a antasid

Answer 2

a lot of serious health issues start this way.  i would go to the ER.  paralysis spreads fast and feeling weak and shaky is just the beginning.  be careful and eat a banana or drink some OJ.

Answer 3

Nothing. This is a normal feeling when you are just on the verge of falling asleep. It is NOT normal if you are sitting on the couch watching TV and are wide awake. Your brain releases chemicals which prevent you from acting out your dreams. These chemicals effectively disconnect your brain from your body. Ever seen a sleeping dog that looks like it is running, moving its legs? That happens when the dog's brain does not release enough of the chemical controls which disconnect things which are normally under the conscious control of the brain. Strangely enough, the only parts of the body these chemical controls affect are voluntary muscle groups, involuntary muscles like your heart are unaffected. One technique for falling asleep is to consciously will yourself to relax, to concentrate on the various parts of your body to make each part relax, and part of that process gives you a feeling of floating, with no aches or pains, and also no feeling in your extremities and coincidentally, a feeling of light-headedness. If this happens at any other time than just as you fall asleep or just as you wake, then there MAY be cause for concern. Many diseases exhibit these symptoms from time to time. Only a doctor can test and tell for sure if anything is going wrong somewhere.

Answer 4

if the doctor only looked to see if your blood sugar was high that was a diabetic test, you need to make sure your blood isn't to low either, or if it all came back fine

then maybe you didn't eat right or ate to much of something

sometimes caffiene can give you weird affects as well after all it is a stimulant, in the same categories as lsd and what not so who knoes.
